EF0 tornado in Jackson County, North Carolina

An NWS storm survey found the path of a weak tornado in the Lake Glenville area. The tornado began along Pine Creek Rd about halfway between the Macon County line and the Lake. It traveled east southeast from there, crossing North Norton Rd and Woods Mountain Trail. Multiple trees were uprooted and snapped and a few homes and one church received minor roof damage. The tornado then crossed the lake and affected Glenshore Dr snapping and uprooting more trees and causing a tree to fall on a home, damaging the roof. The damage path ended there, at the shore of Lake Glenville.

Two supercell thunderstorms entered the North Carolina mountains during the evening hours. One of the storms produced a strong tornado in the town of Murphy in Cherokee County. The supercell remained surprisingly strong as it crossed the southern mountains, producing large hail and eventually another weak tornado in Jackson County. Later at night, storms organized into a broken line across Upstate South Carolina. The northern part of the line crossed the southern North Carolina piedmont where it produced a strong, brief tornado on the northeast side of Charlotte. The storm did not exhibit supercell characteristics, and the tornado spun up quite quickly as the line intersected a low level boundary.
