The episode as NWS RAH wrote it up.
A mid to upper-level disturbance was present along the Mid-Mississippi and Ohio Valleys, with a frontal boundary oriented west to east over Kentucky into Virginia. The frontal boundary remained to the north during the event, but subtle surface boundaries with high instability and moisture across central NC and the mid-level disturbance led to scattered to numerous showers and storms forming around midday, peaking in the late-afternoon to early evening and tapering off by the late-evening hours. Several storms produced downed trees across the Piedmont of central NC.
