A series of severe weather events occurred across North and South Carolina, featuring significant meteorological phenomena including shelf clouds and heavy downpours. In Guilford County and Greensboro, a substantial downpour was reported, while in Conway, a storm brought potential wind gusts up to 40 mph and small hail. Notably, shelf clouds were observed in multiple locations including Greensboro, North Myrtle Beach, and near the coast as thunderstorms approached. These shelf clouds form when cooler air rushes out ahead of a thunderstorm, a detail highlighted with a photo by Ben Bressler in Greensboro.
Looks like a shelf cloud in the distance. Thunderstorms slowly inching towards the coast. #HiltonHead https://t.co/nX28l84lRS

Decent shelf cloud associated with the storm currently moving into Conway. Could see a few wind gusts to 40 mph and small hail with this storm. #SCwx @WMBFnews https://t.co/WLDVEgNqQs
