Flash flooding on Galveston Island included several roads under water and impassable, including 48th Street and Broadway, service roads to Interstate 45, and 51st Street and Harborside Drive where vehicles stalled out. There was also flooding on the TAMU campus.
An enhanced jet stream created enough lift and destabilization along with just enough moisture for isolated showers and thunderstorms across western and northern New Mexico. Significant dry air below the convection limited rain potential but allowed for a few storms to produce strong microburst outflow winds.  One such microburst hit the southern valley portion of Albuquerque, causing a tramopline to be lifted on top of a power pole.  Other notable reported microbursts include a 58 mph wind gust at the Roswell International Airport, a 56 mph wind gust at the Taos airport, and a 55 mph wind gust in Moriarty.  No other damages or impacts were reported.

A weak backdoor cold front edged into northeast New Mexico early on the 29th and provided an area of upslope flow on the southern tier of the Rocky Mountains. A small disturbance within northwest flow aloft supported the initiation of thunderstorms during the early afternoon, moving them to swiftly to the southeast through the early evening hours.  A few became strong to severe in northeast New Mexico, with one storm producing half dollar size hail.  No significant damage resulted from the hail.

A very small area of wind damage occurred during the predawn hours on this Friday morning. Shortly after midnight, scattered showers and generally weak thunderstorms developed over south central Nebraska. Most of this activity occurred east of Highway 281, between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. CST. The small storm that produced this damage moved into southwestern Hamilton County from northwestern Clay County shortly before 3 am CST. It was at 3 a.m. that a very small downburst occurred just southwest and west of Giltner. These were outflow winds immediately ahead of the storm. Grain bins were damaged as a result, with two having roofs pushed in. Another grain bin in a different but nearby location was removed from its location and deposited in a field. This downburst was very brief. Radar indicated strong outflow winds of 50 knots at the lowest elevation angle, at the time of the event, and there was no indication of these winds 5 minutes before or 5 minutes after.
These storms developed in an area of warm air advection associated with a 45 knot low-level jet, in the warm sector of low pressure over the Dakotas. A lee-side trough extended from this low across western Nebraska and Kansas. The flow aloft was moderately amplified with a ridge over the Plains and a trough along the West Coast. Mid-level winds were very weak over Nebraska, on the order of 5-10 knots. Surface temperatures were in the lower to middle 70s, with dewpoints in the 60s. Mid-level lapse rates were steep, nearly 8 deg C/km, resulting in MUCAPE around 1000 J/kg. Deep layer shear was a little less than 20 knots.
