The episode as NWS ILM wrote it up.
Convection developed upstream and organized into a line. A significant cold pool generated gust front moved into the Pee Dee of South Carolina. There were numerous reports of wind damage.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON NC
259 PM EDT THU JUL 2 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
WEEK AND INTO THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY WEEKEND. THIS WILL CREATE
SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES...ALONG WITH TYPICAL SUMMERTIME
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A FRONT MAY STALL
TO OUR NORTH OVER THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 2 PM THURSDAY...THUS FAR CONVECTION HAS BEEN SLOW TO DEVELOP
ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA. APPEARS THE MARGINAL MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
AND LIMITED INSTABILITY ARE HELPING TO PREVENT ANY DEEPER
CONVECTION. FARTHER SOUTH...WHERE ML CAPE HAS EXCEEDED 2000
J/KG...STORMS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DEVELOP ALONG A WEAK SURFACE
TROUGH PINNED CLOSE TO THE COAST. STORMS MAY TRY AND SPREAD NORTH
ALONG THIS BOUNDARY BUT FOR THE TIME BEING WILL FIND THE MID LEVEL
ENVIRONMENT LESS FAVORABLE. THERE IS ALSO SOME POST WAVE
SUBSIDENCE EVIDENT IN FORECAST SOUNDINGS...SOMETHING WHICH HANGS
AROUND INTO THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS. SO WITHOUT MID LEVEL
SUPPORT NOT SURE A LOT OF DEEPER CONVECTION WILL BE ABLE TO
DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN ITSELF. BEST CHANCES APPEARS TO BE INLAND AS
THE STORMS DOWNSTREAM...CURRENTLY IN NORTHERN GA/WESTERN SC...MOVE
INTO THE REGION. CURRENT TIMING HAS THIS ACTIVITY REACHING THE
AREA IN THE 4PM TO 6PM TIME FRAME.
THINK BETTER EVENT WILL BE LATE TONIGHT. THE DIURNALLY DRIVEN
CONVECTION IS LIKELY TO WEAKEN RATHER QUICKLY WITH THE LOSS OF
HEATING. HOWEVER THERE IS A MORE POTENT SHORTWAVE APPROACHING THE
AREA AS THE PERIOD ENDS. IF AFTERNOON ACTIVITY IS LIMITED THIS
WAVE WOULD HAVE SOME MID LEVEL INSTABILITY AND ABUNDANT MOISTURE
TO TAP INTO. IN FACT THE NUMERICAL GUIDANCE DEPICTS LIMITED PRECIP
CHANCES THROUGH THE EVENING WITH AN INCREASE OVERNIGHT AS THE
SHORTWAVE APPROACHES. HAVE TRENDED THE FORECAST IN THIS DIRECTION
GIVEN RECENT RADAR TRENDS COMBINED WITH 12Z GUIDANCE. WORTH NOTING
THAT EITHER ROUND OF CONVECTION WOULD HAVE SOME POTENTIAL TO
PRODUCE DAMAGING WIND AND HAIL...THOUGH THE RISK REMAINS QUITE
LOW.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE TRICKY OVERNIGHT WITH A LOT DEPENDING ON HOW
CONVECTION LATER THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING AND OVERNIGHT PLAYS OUT.
MOST AREAS WILL REMAIN IN THE 70S WITH POTENTIAL FOR LOW TO MID
70S ACROSS A LARGE PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM THURSDAY...A BROADLY CYCLONIC PATTERN WILL PERSIST
ALOFT THROUGH THE PERIOD...AS WILL THE BERMUDA HIGH/INLAND THERMAL
TROUGH PATTERN AT THE SURFACE. TO OUR NORTH A FRONT WILL REMAIN
STALLED ALONG THE NC/VA BORDER. COMBINE THESE FACTORS WITH A VERY
MOIST AND MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE
THE CHANCE FOR CONVECTION THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE USUAL SUSPECTS
WILL BE IN PLAY AS FAR AS CONVECTIVE INITIATION GOES...DIURNAL
HEATING...THE SEA BREEZE FRONT...THE INLAND THERMAL TROUGH...OLD
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES. THIS LATTER
FACTOR WILL BRING THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR STRONG CONVECTION AS
A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES CYCLE THROUGH THE BASE OF THE UPPER
TROUGH. EXACT TIMING OF THESE UPPER FEATURES IS...AS ALWAYS...AN
IFFY PROPOSITION...BUT A CONSENSUS OF GUIDANCE SHOWS ONE SUCH
SHORT WAVE MOVING THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM THURSDAY...IN GENERAL...COASTAL CAROLINAS WILL REMAIN
IN A MORE TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN IN SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ON
WESTERN PERIPHERY OF BERMUDA HIGH. THE LONGER WAVE TROUGH
EXTENDING DOWN FROM THE GREAT LAKES IN THE MID TO UPPER LEVELS
WILL PUSH A WEAKENING FRONTAL BOUNDARY SOUTH AND EAST THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK AND ALTHOUGH THIS BOUNDARY MAY NEVER REACH INTO
OUR LOCAL AREA IT MAY ACT TO SHIFT LEE SIDE TROUGH FARTHER EAST.
THEREFORE SHOULD SEE ENHANCED CONVERGENCE AND MOISTURE POOL SOUTH
AND EAST OF THIS FRONT IN WARMER AND MORE MOIST AIR MASS. THIS IN
COMBINATION WITH SHORTWAVE ENERGY ALOFT WILL ACT TO PRODUCE
LOCALIZED CONVECTION EACH AFTERNOON. THE GFS ACTUALLY SHOWS A
BROAD CUT OFF LOW DEVELOPING ALONG THE LEE OF THE APPALACHIANS BY
MONDAY WHICH SEEMS TO OPEN UP BY TUES AND FINALLY LIFTS OFF TO THE
NORTHEAST AND WEAKENS THROUGH MID WEEK. THIS SHOULD HELP TO
ENHANCE CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ON MONDAY BUT SHOULD DIMINISH UPPER
LEVEL SUPPORT BY TUES INTO WED BUT LEE SIDE TROUGH WILL STILL
REMAIN ACROSS INLAND CAROLINAS AND MODELS ARE SHOWING ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE TO FOLLOW BY THURS. OVERALL...LOCAL AREA WILL REMAIN IN
WARM AND HUMID SUMMERTIME AIR MASS AND THE SUBTLE PATTERN CHANGES
FROM THE SURFACE THROUGH THE UPPER LEVELS WILL WILL MAKE THE
BIGGEST DIFFERENCE EACH DAY IN TERMS OF BEHAVIOR OF SEA BREEZE
FRONT AND PIEDMONT TROUGH AND OVERALL POTENTIAL AND FOCUS OF
CONVECTION.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 18Z...TERMINALS ARE VFR THIS AFTERNOON WITH SW WINDS AROUND
10KT. THE SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY REMAIN VERY NEAR THE
COASTAL TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON AS IT DID YESTERDAY. THIS LEADS TO
LOW CONFIDENCE IN FORECAST WIND DIRECTIONS AT THE COASTAL TERMINALS
WITH DIRECTIONS OF S-W POSSIBLE.
PER VISIBLE SATELLITE LOOPS LOW CLOUDS ARE INCREASING WEST OF KFLO.
SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT. BEST CHANCE FOR VCTS WILL BE KFLO/KLBT EARLY EVENING AND
COASTAL TERMINALS MID-LATE EVENING. OVERNIGHT THINK MOST ACTIVITY
WILL BE JUST SHOWERS. AFTER SUNRISE EXPECT WEST WINDS AND VFR
CONDITIONS.
EXTENDED OUTLOOK...PREDOMINATELY VFR WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY.
&&
.MARINE...
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 2 PM THURSDAY...SOUTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES OVER THE WATERS
TODAY WITH SPEEDS 15 TO 20 KT. GRADIENT IS EXPECTED TO TIGHTEN UP
A BIT THIS EVENING...PUSHING SPEEDS CLOSE TO 20 KT OVERNIGHT. THIS
WILL PUSH SEAS...CURRENTLY RUNNING 3 TO 4 FT...TO 4 TO 6 FT ACROSS
OUTER EDGES OF ALL ZONES EXCEPT AMZ256 WHERE WIND COMPONENT WILL
BE MORE OFFSHORE. AS SUCH THE SCA CONTINUES UNALTERED STARTING
THIS EVENING THROUGH ROUGHLY DAYBREAK FRI.
SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS OF 3 PM THURSDAY...BERMUDA HIGH/INLAND TROUGH PATTERN WILL
PERSIST THROUGH THE SHORT TERM...CONTINUING A SW FLOW IN THE 15 TO
20 KT RANGE FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS
POSSIBLE LATE FRIDAY INTO EARLY SATURDAY AS SEAS BRIEFLY BUILD
INTO THE 4 TO 6 FT RANGE.
LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AS OF 3 PM THURSDAY...LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTHERLY FLOW AROUND
WESTERN PERIPHERY OF BERMUDA HIGH THROUGH THE PERIOD. MAY SEE THE
GRADIENT GET PINCHED AT TIMES AS LEE SIDE TROUGH MIGRATES CLOSER
TO THE COAST OR GETS ENHANCED BY SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH...BUT
OVERALL EXPECT A WEAKENING SFC FLOW THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. WINDS
WILL SPIKE UP AND BACK SLIGHTLY IN SEA BREEZE NEAR SHORE EACH
AFTERNOON BUT OVERALL EXPECT WINDS MAINLY 10 KTS OR LESS. SEAS
WILL ALSO DIMINISH THROUGH THE PERIOD STARTING OUT 2 TO 4 FT BUT
DROPPING DOWN TO 3 FT OR LESS MON THROUGH TUES. A LONGER PERIOD SE
SWELL UP TO 9 SEC WILL DOMINATE COME SUNDAY NIGHT AS SHORTER
PERIOD WIND WAVES DIMINISH.
