A stalled surface boundary across the central North Carolina was the focal point for shower and thunderstorm development. Primary impacts were in the form of gusty winds and small hail. Several tornado warnings were issued, although most of the damage was from straight line winds. Moderate flooding due to two rounds of short-lived but heavy rainfall was observed in Alamance, Orange, and Wake counties. Storm activity largely waned after midnight.
