With a broad area of troughing persisting across the East Coast, a strong vorticity center aloft and weak surface convergence combined with a moist and moderately unstable air mass and resulted in scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly across the Coastal Plain. Numerous reports of wind damage and large hail were received, with flash flooding reported in the Fayetteville area.
