Deep southwest flow was present across the Florida peninsula as a frontal trough was stalled across the Deep South and Western Atlantic, which was keeping the axis of the Bermuda Ridge pinned across the Florida Straits. Abundant moisture was present across the area with high Precipitable Water values. Strong diurnal heating resulted in numerous showers and thunderstorms across inland areas, which were pushed towards the east coast by the dominant southwest steering flow. These storms moved over the intracoastal waters of Brevard County where they produced strong winds.

The Ferguson Fire started on July 13, 2018 at 2136 PDT in the South Fork Merced River drainage, 10 miles north of Mariposa, CA in Sierra National Forest. The cause of the fire is under investigation. The fire started in an area that has steep, rugged terrain with scarcely any road access and a heavy presence of beetle-killed trees.  On the morning of July 14, a heavy equipment operator was killed in a bulldozer rollover accident. The fire grew rapidly under hot and dry weather conditions. Strong inversions each day resulted in smoke issues in the fire area that limited aircraft operations. Smoke impacts from the fire spread throughout Yosemite National Park, the Sierra Nevada and foothill and into the San Joaquin Valley. Highway 140 leading into Yosemite National Park was closed on July 14 and remained closed through the end of July and into August. Smoke impacts in Yosemite resulted in dangerous air quality causing Yosemite Valley and most of the eastern part of the park to be closed to visitors on July 25. This closure continued into early August. Highway 41 leading into Yosemite from the south was also closed. Several communities just outside of Yosemite, including El Portal, Foresta, and the park employee housing at Rancheria Flat were subject to evacuations. From July 24 to 31, additional evacuations and repopulations of other areas continued to occur. On July 29,    another tragic accident occurred when a tree fell, hitting and killing a firefighter.  This fire continued to burn actively into August. By July 31, it had burned 57,041 acres and cost $64.3 Million.

A waterspout over Kentucky Lake was captured on video by at least one boater. The rope-like funnel took a long, winding path from the cloud base to the water. A small but intense cloud of spray marked the touchdown point. The waterspout moved into Duncan Bay, where it appeared to dissipate near the forested shoreline of the Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area.
Isolated thunderstorms developed as the atmosphere became strongly unstable during the afternoon and early evening hours. Mixed layer capes were near 3000 j/kg. The storms drifted slowly south and southwest around a strong upper level high centered over the Missouri Valley. An isolated damaging wind gust was observed with the strongest cell.
