| Episode Narrative | A very powerful upper level trough in combination with high wind in the low and mid levels of the atmosphere generated a prolonged period of strong damaging winds from 9 am in the morning through the afternoon and into the evening. Widespread power outages along with areas of damage were reported across much of Central North Carolina. A band of convective showers which developed in the morning also generated damaging winds over portions of the eastern piedmont and coastal plain. |
