An ongoing line of scattered showers and thunderstorms quickly tracked east from central North Carolina to the coast and strengthened as they interacted with the surface trough in the coastal plain with a few of these storms becoming strong in nature bringing strong and damaging winds to portions of the northern sounds and Pamlico river.
