EF2 tornado in Iredell County, North Carolina

NWS storm survey found the path of a second, more significant tornado in Iredell County. This one touched near the intersection of New Salem Rd and Highway 64. The tornado moved northeast, crossing Highway 64 between Crooked Ln and Hunters Ridge Ln. The most significant damage occurred in this location, as a brick home had its roof completely removed and interior walls collapsed. Material from this home along with tree debris acted as projectiles, causing damage to the exterior of adjacent homes. About a dozen homes were damaged in this fashion. The tornado apparently weakened as it continued northeast, but uprooted or snapped dozens of trees before lifting in the vicinity of 5th Creek Rd. This was only the strongest tornado to impact Iredell County since 2005, and was only the second official significant tornado (E/F2 or greater) in the county's history.

Scattered to numerous thunderstorms developed in advance of a cold front across western North Carolina during the afternoon. Multiple severe storms produced isolated tornadoes, with a couple of strong tornadoes impacting the northwest Piedmont. Sporadic wind damage occurred across the remainder of the area.
