A trough of low pressure over the southern Appalachians combined with a southward moving backdoor cold front in Virginia for the development of scattered to numerous showers and storms over the northern Piedmont and Coastal Plain of central North Carolina in the evening hours. Trees were down due to strong storms in Nash and Halifax, as well as isolated flooding in Johnston County.
