sweetapricity/bridgedeck-noaa huggingface dataset:
Severe (D2) to Extreme (D3) drought conditions continued across portions of Northwest Louisiana through late August. This was in response to a flash drought that resulted from an exceptionally hot and dry month in June with well below normal rainfall in what is historically one of the wettest months on average. This was then followed by an even hotter and largely dry month in July. The total rainfall amounts were generally around an inch or less in June, which was only near 25% of normal. Much above normal rainfall returned in August, which eliminated the drought across North Louisiana by month's end. This dryness contributed to lower than normal streamflow observed across area creeks, streams, and rivers before improving significantly late in the month.

A surface low drifted eastward across far-northern Ontario during the evening of the 29th, which allowed Lake Erie and vicinity to reside in the warm sector as the low's trailing cold front approached slowly from the western Great Lakes. Moderate to strong MUCAPE, moderate effective bulk shear, and moderate to strong DCAPE resided over Lake Erie and vicinity. As an outflow-dominant squall line evolved generally eastward in this environment, it generated scattered gale-force peak wind gusts along the northern Ohio shore. Despite the squall line's slight outflow-dominance, several waterspouts managed to develop along the downshear gust front just offshore Cleveland.

Strong heating during the afternoon created an unstable airmass with surface-based CAPE values in excess of 3,000 J/Kg across Tazewell County and the surrounding area, while precipitable water values varied between 1.6 and 1.8 inches.  One thunderstorm developed to the near Richlands at around 6:15 pm EDT and lingered for about 75 minutes before weakening. This storm produced prolonged rainfall rates of 3 to 4 inches per hour.  Runoff from this storm resulted in small stream flooding of tributaries of the Clinch River, including Little Town Hill Creek, which flooded across U.S. Highway 460 and Hillcreek Road.  MRMS FLASH (Flooded Locations and Simulated Hydrograph) data indicated a 3-hour Average Recurrence Interval between a 40- and 75-year event, while estimated rainfall was up to 1.8 times that of 3-hour flash flood guidance.  CREST (Coupled Routing and Excess Storage) Unit Streamflow in the area ranged from 300 to 500 cfs per square mile.

Upper ridging was anchored from the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles southeast into the Lower Mississippi Valley on August 15th-16th, which resulted in very hot and humid conditions across much of the Four State Region allowing for afternoon temperatures to climb into the upper 90s to near 100 degrees. Very little mixing of dew points was noted across North Louisiana through this period, with resultant heat indices ranging from 105-109 degrees both days. A weak surface front drifted south across North Louisiana on the 17th, which resulted in compressional warming along and just south of the front. Thus, temperatures climbed into the upper 90s to lower 100s, and when combined with the humidity, resulted in heat indices again ranging from 105-109 degrees. This front also focused scattered showers and thunderstorms across the area during the afternoon, with cooler conditions observed on the 18th.

Upper ridging was anchored from the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles southeast into the Lower Mississippi Valley on August 15th-16th, which resulted in very hot and humid conditions across much of the Four State Region allowing for afternoon temperatures to climb into the upper 90s to lower 100s. Very little mixing of dew points was noted across Southeast Oklahoma through this period, with resultant heat indices ranging from 105-108 degrees both days. The passage of a weak surface front on the 17th resulted in slightly cooler conditions, and focused scattered showers and thunderstorms across the area.
