Carolina during the late afternoon and evening of Saturday April 16th Twelve tornadoes have been confirmed over the area Hundreds of homes were damaged or completely destroyed across the region Many business and several schools received structural damage with some buildings totally destroyed Thousands of residents were either temporarily or permanently displaced from their homes Scores of injuries also occurred with several injuries being categorized as critical Tornado on the ground over Greene County NC (Courtesy WNCT) The atmospheric set up was conducive for supercellular thunderstorms to form on this day A dual jet stream structure (Figure 1) enhanced lift over the area while a vigorous negative tilt mid level trough (Figure 2) provided strong positive vorticity advection Strong vertical wind shear as seen on the MHX 00Z sounding (Figure 3) provided the ability for storms to violently rotate while surface heating during the afternoon increased surface based instability a cold front was poised to the west over the North Carolina mountains at 7 am Saturday morning as a warm front moved north to the near the North Carolina/Virginia border (Figure 4).  Thunderstorms would break out ahead of the cold front first over central North Carolina during the early afternoon hours and move into Eastern North Carolina by late afternoon and early evening Strong surface based instability and low-level wind shear led to the thunderstorms very quickly becoming tornadic All these factors were contributors to the intensity of the thunderstorm that developed which formed into discrete supercell structures These discrete supercell thunderstorms produced violent tornadoes that caused damage of up to EF3 intensity on the Enhanced Fujita Scale (Figure 5) for rating tornadoes.    2011 showing dual jet structure over the Eastern United States 2011 showing mid-level trough becoming negatively tilted 2011 Newport/Morehead City (MHX) sounding
