Solidly within southwest upper level flow, the area found itself within an active period with multiple rounds of thunderstorms. Morning convection amounted to little more than moderate showers and thunderstorms, giving way to a short break before a potent short wave, increased low level jet, and increased theta-e advection initiated another round of strong to severe thunderstorms. Even with morning convection and lingering cloud cover, MUCAPE values approached the 2000-3000 J/kg range by the early to mid evening hours, along with marginally supportive effective bulk shear (about 30 kts), and precipitable water values in excess of 1.8 inches. As convection strolled northeast, a few strong to severe cores went up, providing periods of heavy rainfall and damaging winds.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms developed during the afternoon and evening of August 29th, near and south of a weak surface front and associated upper trough that extended across Southeast Oklahoma and Westcentral Arkansas. A very unstable air mass developed during the afternoon, as temperatures climbed into the mid and upper 90s ahead of the front, which helped to fuel these showers and thunderstorms across Southeast Oklahoma, extreme Northeast Texas, and Southwest Arkansas. These showers and thunderstorms persisted through the evening, with one particular storm becoming severe over Sevier County Arkansas. This storm produced a localized microburst just southwest of Lockesburg, which downed several trees and caused a barn to collapse.

Severe (D2) drought conditions developed across Wood County Texas during the second week of August, as a prolonged period of dryness coupled with temperatures in the mid 90s to near 100 degrees throughout much of the month, resulted in deteriorating conditions. August monthly rainfall amounts ranged from one to two inches, with isolated higher amounts over the western sections of the county. These severe drought conditions continued into September across Wood County.

Severe (D2) drought conditions developed by the second week of August across Smith County Texas, as a prolonged period of dry conditions coupled with temperatures in the upper 90s to near 100 degrees carried over from late July. However, a weak cool front  which became stationary over Northeast Texas by August 10th focused periods of scattered showers and thunderstorms over Smith County, with rainfall amounts of one to in excess of two inches observed. Thus, drought conditions improved back to moderate (D1) by mid-month,  which persisted until late month before deteriorating to severe drought once again.

Aiken Co Emergency Manager reported that the steeple at Langley First Baptist Church, on Augusta Rd near Warrenville, had been blown down.
