Wider weather episode

A warm front draped from the Great Lakes into the Ohio Valley led to morning showers and thunderstorms across the Ohio Valley early in the day. These showers and storms continued to progress southward toward central North Carolina in the evening hours, especially across the northwest, central, and southern Piedmont. The storms did not completely clear the area until the early overnight hours, as storms by then moved into South Carolina. There were numerous reports of trees and power lines down across Guilford, Forsyth, and Davidson Counties, as well as wind damage reports over Granville, Person, and Franklin Counties. Isolated flash flooding also occurred in parts of Forsyth County.
