| Episode Narrative | A strong low pressure system over Minnesota pushed a front across our area. Very strong winds aloft set the stage for damaging wind gusts and tornadoes. Enough instability was present ahead of this front to enhance the severe threat. An area of severe thunderstorms and embedded supercells moved into the Piedmont and foothills of North Carolina late in the evening of the 26th into early on the 27th. These storms produced areas of wind damage, one downburst, and one tornado. The front stalled over the area during the day of the 27th. Another piece of upper level energy moving along the front sparked more thunderstorms and embedded supercells late in the day on the 27th. These storms produced more wind damage, one more downburst, and one additional tornado. |
| Event Narrative | A microburst with winds estimated up to 80 MPH caused damage along Compton and Bertha Wilson Roads. Numerous large trees and limbs were downed with extensive damage to several outbuildings. Two residences also sustained minor roof damage from the winds. Damage amounts are estimated. |
