Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeWith a mid level ridge to the west of the area and an upper low to the east, central North Carolina was dominated by northwesterly flow aloft. As a perturbation in this northwesterly flow aloft moved across the region, it combined with a moist air mass, steep mid level lapse rates and associated instability to produce isolated to scattered convection. A few of these storms became severe, producing quarter sized hail and some flash flooding. Also, these storms were prolific lightning producers and caused several house fires.
