Episode Narrative Thunderstorms initiated over the mountains of North Carolina during the afternoon hours. As the afternoon progressed, several supercell thunderstorms developed which tracked southeast across the foothills and piedmont along a slow moving surface cold front. Many of the storms moved along the North Carolina, South Carolina border. With unusually steep lapse rates over the region, several of the storms produced large hail. Fortunately the supercells were a little elevated in nature, which kept any tornadoes from forming over South Carolina. Still, hail ranging up to the size of softballs did quite a bit of damage over the region.
Event Narrative A third hail storm affected the county with a swath of hail up to golf ball size affecting areas from Clover to York.
