A few weak thunderstorms developed near Lake Mille Lacs the evening of the 26th ahead of a cold front.

The waterspout developed over the northwestern arm of Farm Island Lake east of Johnson's Point and moved to the southeast, passing just offshore of the southwest tip of the point. It then turned a little more easterly and passed near or over the northern tip of First Island and over open water before moving over the southern part of Delicarlia Peninsula. Docks were damaged at this location along with a few boats flipped and tree damage. The waterspout then turned more easterly and moved across Church Camp Bay before reaching shore again, damaging another dock, flipping multiple boats and causing sporadic tree damage. It then turned a but more southeasterly and traveled through a grove of trees and dissipated before reaching US Highway 169.
An upper level ridge of high pressure that had been dominant across the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley during the first two weeks of August, and brought about an extended period of oppressive heat to North Louisiana, finally had begun to weaken by the evening and overnight hours of the 13th through the 14th, when a weak shortwave trough dropped southeast into the area, allowing for a weak surface front to push south into the region. This front focused isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms across portions of North Louisiana on the 14th, but before they developed and spread into the region, temperatures had managed to climb into the lower to mid 90s, and when combined with the high humidity, resulted in heat indices near 105 degrees. This front and needed rainfall brought about cooler conditions and eventually slightly lower humidities to the region for the 15th.

An upper level trough moved southeastward from the Great Lakes and into the Mid-Atlantic states during the day of August 15th. At the surface, a boundary also moved southeastward from Ohio and into the region. With building instability, scattered showers and thunderstorms developed across the higher elevations in the mid afternoon hours, and then moved eastward during the late afternoon and evening. With relatively strong westerly to west-northwesterly flow aloft, deep layer shear increased and that, combined with the instability, led to some thunderstorms becoming strong to locally severe.
