sweetapricity/bridgedeck-noaa huggingface dataset:
For the majority of August 2021, the U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM) maintained or assigned two small bullseyes of Severe Drought (D2) to the eastern half of the 24-county South Central Nebraska area, one within central/eastern Thayer County and the other centered over the four-county intersection between Greeley/Nance/Howard/Merrick. Focusing here on Thayer County, this area of D2 (introduced in late-July) was embedded within a broader area of Moderate Drought (D1) that encompassed much of the remainder of Thayer and extended northward through most of Fillmore and York counties (and also smaller parts of Clay/Hamilton counties). However, some much-needed appreciable rain late in the month eliminated this localized D2 from Thayer County (although the broader D1 area lingered in its place for roughly the northeast half of the county given remaining longer-term precipitation deficits).
Focusing on the fairly dry majority of August, and referencing data from the NWS cooperative observer in Hebron (generally representative of the D2 area), up until its final days August was well on its way to being the 5th-consecutive month of below normal precipitation. In fact, between April 1-Aug. 26, Hebron totaled just 9.06 inches of precipitation (45% of normal), with this dryness peaking during June-July (merely 26% of normal). But then, August ended on a much-welcomed wetter note, as a few rounds of thunderstorms between the 27th-29th dumped 2.51 of rain, prompting removal of the D2 area. Although not an astounding total by August standards, this 2.51 nonetheless constituted more than one-fourth of the cumulative Hebron precipitation over the preceding five months! As for local agricultural impacts, a Nebraska Extension crop educator noted that although these late-August rains arrived too late to reverse detrimental effects on corn/soybean yields, they would help improve pasture conditions and also the outlook for fall planting of wheat and cover crops.

A quick-moving Alberta Clipper spread a swath of light snow across much of central Pennsylvania from the evening of November 27 into the early morning hours of November 28, 2021. One to three inches of accumulation were observed in locations north and west of the Lower Susquehanna Valley. This was enough to slicken roads, and Route 15 was closed in South Williamsport due to multiple accidents.

Thunderstorms producing heavy rain continued to redevelop across southwest Ford County during the late morning and early afternoon producing widespread significant flash flooding in many areas, including in Gibson City.  Numerous homes and businesses suffered significant flood damage.  Local officials estimated about 800 properties were affected by flooding.  Most roads were closed and impassable with several feet of water across some roads.  Multiple cars were stalled in flood waters with multiple water rescues.  A senior citizen center was inundated with flood waters and multiple water rescues were performed to remove the residents.  To the southwest of Gibson City, vegetation was flattened in many low lying areas due to the fast flowing flood waters.  Rainfall amounts in Gibson City and far southwest Ford County were in the 7 to 9 inch range from late morning through early afternoon.  Measured rainfall amounts included 9.33 inches one mile northeast of Gibson City; 8.76 inches in Gibson City and 7.63 inches three miles west northwest of Gibson City.  During the NWS storm survey, it was discovered that several private rain gauges in Gibson City ranged between 10 to 13 inches.  The property damage amount was estimated in consultation with city and local officials.  The crop damage amount was estimated in consultation with agriculture officials.
A warm front moved through the mid-Atlantic on the morning of June 3. Considerable cloud cover lingered during and after the front passage, but breaks of sunshine gradually developed by afternoon. This, combined with a surge of moisture behind the warm front, allowed a moderate amount of instability to develop. A pre-frontal surface trough served as a focus for convective development by late afternoon. Convection became fairly widespread, but the moderate instability combined with only weak to moderate shear limited its overall severity, and the high moisture contributed to a messy convective evolution. A few reports of damaging wind were received, and storms also produced locally heavy rainfall.

With an area of high pressure centered over the central Great Plains, drier air began to filter into eastern New Mexico on July 29, 2021. Meanwhile, a steady monsoon moisture plume continued across central and western New Mexico that helped to develop a round of scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Thunderstorms developed over the high terrain areas, and steering flow moved them in a southeast to northwest direction. While these thunderstorms produced light to moderate amounts of rainfall, one particular thunderstorm near Cuba produced heavy rainfall that resulted in flash flooding.

A hot and humid air mass remained in place over the mid-Atlantic on August 27. A slow moving cold front began dropping southward into the region during the afternoon. This helped scattered to widespread convection develop in a strongly unstable air mass. Shear was weak over the region, but thanks to the strong instability, a number of storms became strong to severe with a threat for damaging downburst winds, in addition to locally heavy rain. Convection continued into the late evening hours before gradually waning in coverage as instability was lost.

With an area of high pressure over the central Great Plains, drier air filtering into eastern New Mexico limited thunderstorm potential in the area for several days. A backdoor cold front moving south and west through the area on July 31, 2021, finally brought an increase in moisture and reinvigorated thunderstorm chances. This boundary moved through northeast and east central New Mexico through the early afternoon on July 31st before sweeping through the Rio Grande Valley late that night. This resulted in an increase in thunderstorm coverage across the area and also increased chances for heavy rainfall and flash flooding. The Luna burn scar was once again impacted with heavy rain resulting in rapid runoff in Luna Canyon. Flash flooding was also reported in Madrid along New Mexico State Road 14 which left behind mud and other debris along the roadway.

An area of high pressure stayed centered over the Four Corners while above normal moisture values also continued across New Mexico on July 4, 2021. A weak disturbance rounding the high pressure and moving southward from Kansas into eastern New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle allowed for increasing instability, wind shear, and lift that resulted in a few strong to severe thunderstorms across the eastern plains for the Independence Day holiday. Hail sizes were generally sub-severe while the Tucumcari airport measured the strongest wind gust of the day with 63 mph. Meanwhile, strong to severe winds in Roosevelt County resulted in minor property damage.
