| Episode Narrative | Central North Carolina endured a one-two punch of severe weather as a well developed upper low and negatively tilted upper trough moved across the region. The first round of severe storms began in the afternoon as discrete storms developed well ahead of an organized squall line. Minor wind damage was reported, along with an isolated tornado. The second round of severe storms came later that evening, as the squall line swept through the state, producing widespread wind damage and another brief tornado touchdown. |
| Event Narrative | Numerous trees were reported blown down throughout the city. There was one report of where trees fell through a home. |
