Event narrative

The public reported multiple trees falling in the neighborhood of Roseboro.

Wider weather episode

A mid-level trough approaching the Mid South and a slow moving surface cold front across western and northern North Carolina kept central North Carolina in a deep and moist southwest flow. Afternoon heating in the east contributed to a few fast-moving bowing segments that produced severe straight-line winds and led to downed trees and power lines.
