Showers and thunderstorms developed along a prefrontal trough across the southern Appalachians and Carolinas during the afternoon into the evening in a weakly unstable airmass. However, strengthening southerly low level flow of 50kts along with strong flow aloft resulted in strong deep layer shear, helping to organize the convection into clusters/lines of storms. Some of the storms in the clusters produced damaging winds as they moved across the Piedmont of central North Carolina.
