A seasonably strong upper level storm system swept across the northern Plains during the day on Sunday August 31st. Ahead of the storm system low pressure developed over the high Plains and allowed for warm and moist air to pool over the mid Missouri River Valley creating strong instability by mid to late afternoon. As a cold front and associated upper level jet streak interacted with the instability, thunderstorms developed from northeast Nebraska into Northern Kansas. These thunderstorms moved east through the rest of the afternoon and evening hours, crossing eastern Nebraska and western Iowa produced mainly hail and wind damage, but heavy rainfall also occurred in parts of the area as well.

A line of severe thunderstorms developed in eastern Iowa during the afternoon hours of June 30th. Plenty of instability and moisture was available for the line to mature into a severe bow-echo with the bulk of this racing northwest of the area into Wisconsin and Central Lower Michigan. The southern flank of this line did briefly take on bowing characteristics and produce gusty winds over southern Lake Michigan into portions of northwestern Indiana and far southwestern Lower Michigan before dissipating. Behind this line, a much stronger line of thunderstorms rapidly developed on a pre-frontal trough in northern Illinois. This line had much more favorable parameters to work with deep layer shear to 50 knots and a rapidly increasing low level jet to 50 knots. As this line raced into northwestern Indiana during the late evening hours, several stronger circulations were noted along the leading edge that lead to multiple tornado confirmations and swaths of at times extensive wind damage. The second event continued into July 1st with additional wind damage and confirmed tornadoes occurring during the early morning hours.

Lightning sparked a wild fire south of the John day area on August 2nd. The fire would go on to spread over 2500 acres.
Update as of 9/23/14:
A moderate amount of smoke settled into the John Day Valley yesterday, with air quality measured as ���good��� by monitors placed in John Day and Unity. A cold front brought multiple lightning strikes across Grant County west of the fire area, with new smoke reports being investigated this morning. Cloud cover overnight prevented infrared detection the fire���s expanded perimeter.
More than a half-inch of rain has been measured since yesterday near Deardorff Mountain, on the southeast side of the fire, and will limit fire growth and smoke today. However, the rain was not enough to clear visible smoke from the air.
Winds will be out of the south today, causing smoke to again settle into drainages and valleys north of the fire tonight, in Unity and Baker City. Southerly winds will shift to out of the north tomorrow evening, moving smoke back over the fire and away from John Day, Prairie City, Unity and Baker City.
Fire resources on the ground yesterday included a 20-person handcrew, 5 engines, and 2 water tenders, along with a field observer and several fire commanders. In light of changing conditions, many of those resources are being released today, and will be available to respond to new fire starts.
Estimated Containment Date Oct 15th 2014.
