sweetapricity/bridgedeck-noaa huggingface dataset:
The remnants of Tropical Storm Barry moved northwestward cutting across the southern and central portions of Alabama.  The center of the remnants moved from Dallas County across Hale, Greene, and Pickens counties.  Heavy rain occurred generally from Troy to Montgomery to the Birmingham area with much of the area getting 1.50 to 3 inches of rain.  Relatively dry conditions in the week before helped to reduce the impact of any heavy rain.  One big impact of the rain was the cancellation of an N'Sync concert scheduled for Legion Field in Birmingham.  The loss from the cancellation of the concert alone was estimated to be $2 million.Wind was not a major factor with the storm as wind gusts in the area peaked out around 35 mph.  Some specific wind gust values included Birmingham with 31 mph, Calera with 29 mph, Montgomery with 39 mph, and Troy with 31 mph.

Location: GRAFTON
Property damage: 400K
Reported by: NEWSPAPER

Thunderstorms formed ahead of a cold front.  The storms dumped 2 to 4 inches of rain, over a small area,  in less than 6 hours.  The cooperative observer near Grafton measured 3.1 inches of rain.  Flooding occurred inside the city limits of Grafton, plus along Plum Run, Wickwire Run, and Dry Run.  County officials surveyed around 80 homes and 2 businesses that were affected.  Taylor County was added to the previous FEMA disaster declaration 1378.
Showers and thunderstorms began reforming across the I-35 corridor from San Antonio to New Braunfels near sunrise, and by mid-morning, had produced an additional rainfall averaging 1 to 2 inches from San Antonio and New Braunfels southeastward into the Seguin and Floresville areas.  The highest totals reached near 11 inches from just east of San Antonio to Seguin and Kingsbury in Guadalupe County and across Wilson County from Floresville eastward.  Wilson County Emergency Management Officials reported that severe flash flooding had cut SH123 which runs from south of Seguin into Stockdale. Water was reported to be six inches over the 500-year flood-plain mark along SH123, and the road remained closed for several hours.  Over 100 homes in Stockdale were flooded, causing an estimated $2 million in damage.  Many indicated that it was the worst flooding yet seen in the town.  	A very dramatic high water rescue of a motorist and his passenger in San Antonio was broadcast live by several San Antonio television station.  The San Antonio Emergency Manager gave a live explanation of the operation and its hazards.  Then the event took a terrifying turn as two of the firefighters were swept off their feet and into the rapidly moving water as they approached the vehicle.  Fortunately, they were able to latch onto low tree limbs and pull themselves to safety.  It was an extremely effective lesson in the dangers of flash flooding.

Thunderstorm winds, including a heat burst, blew off a door and part of the roof of an airport hangar, bent a flagpole, blew down trees and power poles, and blew two farm wagons across a highway. The temperature rose over 20 degrees in a few minutes, briefly reaching 99 degrees.
Event Summary for 7/24/01:An east-west frontal boundary was positioned near the Highway 20 corridor by late afternoon.  This boundary was the dividing line between slightly cooler and drier air to the north ( temperatures in the 80s and dewpoints in the middle 60s), with hot and humid conditions to the south (temperatures in the lower 90s and dewpoints in the middle to upper 70s).  This contrast in airmasses fueled a line of severe thunderstorms during the late afternoon. This line developed a bowing segment which moved across portions of Jones, Jackson and Clinton counties, producing wind damage.  Winds were estimated between 60 mph and 70 mph, downing trees and power lines.

Drought in PARMER, TEXAS
From 01-JUL-01 00:00:00 to 31-JUL-01 23:00:00 (CST)
Reported by: NEWSPAPER

After receiving slightly above average rainfall amounts in May, most of the South Plains, extreme southern Texas Panhandle, and Rolling Plains experienced very dry conditions in the months of June and July.  In fact, little to no precipitation occurred across the area during those two months due to a warm, subtropical high pressure system that dominated the weather across the south central portion of the country through the early summer months.  Rainfall deficits of nearly four inches on average were calculated for the months of June and July at most of the NWS cooperative observing sites across the region. In addition to the persistent dry weather pattern that West Texas experienced, daytime temperatures routinely soared well above seasonal averages.  The daily high temperature measured in Paducah was 100 degrees or more on 27 days during the month of July.  A number of other stations including Childress, Aspermont, and Guthrie reached 100 degrees on at least 23 days during the month.  The monthly average temperature of 85.3 degrees at the Lubbock International Airport made this month the second warmest on record since 1914.The combination of prolonged heat and lack of rain significantly stressed agriculture across the South Plains, extreme southern Texas Panhandle, and Rolling Plains with dryland crops suffering the most.  More details, including rough estimates of crop damage, will be included in later months after the extent of the drought is better determined.
