| Episode Narrative | Multiple lines of thunderstorms developed across the western Carolinas in advance of a cold front during the late afternoon and evening. Some of these lines produced swaths of wind damage along with brief, weak tornadoes across Upstate South Carolina. |
| Event Narrative | NWS storm survey found the path of a short track, weak tornado south of Piedmont. The tornado touched down just west of Childs Rd and tracked north/northeast along Osteen Hill Rd before lifting along River Hill Ct. Multiple trees were uprooted and small trees snapped along the length of the path. Structural damage was limited to a metal carport that was torn from a house on Smith Dr. |
