Thunderstorms developed over western North Carolina during the afternoon hours. The combination of high instability and moderate wind shear helped a couple of the storms reach severe limits. During the evening hours thunderstorms begin to line up and repeatedly affect the same areas north of Charlotte. Several inches of rain fell in this area, resulting in a significant flash flood.
