The wider storm

An upper low over the western Great Lakes and associated surface cold front over the Appalachians produced two rounds of showers and thunderstorms across the region. The first round of storms in the morning produced isolated wind damage along the I-85 corridor from the Triad eastward to Alamance and Orange Counties. Following a break in the storms around mid-day, a second round of storms develop immediately ahead of the cold front, producing additional wind damage across the Sandhills into the southern Coastal Plain.

Began near Antioch (34.8873, -79.1621).
