Event Overview
An area of low pressure was riding northeast along a slow moving frontal boundary near the Virginia/North Carolina border on the afternoon and evening of the 23rd. A mid level disturbance moved across the area during the evening hours to further enhance instability across Eastern North Carolina. There was strong surface heating and a moisture was plentiful ahead of the front, adding to the instability. Thunderstorms already developing along and ahead of the front would be moving into a favorable environment for them to become strong to severe. Eastern North Carolina was placed under a severe thunderstorm watch from around 430 PM until 900 PM EDT. The Newport/Morehead City NWS office issued 4 tornado warnings and 4 severe thunderstorm warnings during the event.
