| Episode Narrative | The last night of the unusual prolonged heat wave brought another round of severe thunderstorms. Surface dew point temperatures continued in the oppressive 70F to 80F range. With the extreme heat, mid level temperatures also remained quite warm. However, the combination of a subtle upper level disturbance and a modest low level jet helped spawn the thunderstorms. |
| Event Narrative | Several trees were uprooted and large tree branches were snapped off in farm yards and shelterbelts in central Higdem Township. |
