Marine Thunderstorm Wind · Atlantic South

Report came in via the Oriental L7 XOTL Weatherflow station in the mouth of the Neuse River as thunderstorms moved through the area.

A warm and moist environment set up across Eastern North Carolina during the afternoon hours of June Twenty-Eighth. At the same time the seabreeze combined with a surface trough across the Coastal Plain and an incoming cold front to become the focus of scattered shower and thunderstorm activity during the afternoon and evening hours. With this favorable environment in place, a few of these storms became strong to severe in nature bringing a strong and damaging wind threat to the Neuse and Bay Rivers, southern Pamlico Sound, and along the coastal waters south of Ocracoke Island.
