sweetapricity/bridgedeck-noaa huggingface dataset:
Thunderstorms were observed developing along a nearly stalled frontal boundary and remnant outflows across parts of Southwest Arkansas, Northeast Texas, and Northern Louisiana on the afternoon of August 27th. Very strong diurnal heating was sufficient to erode a capping inversion aloft with around 1500-2000 J/kg of mean-layer instability supporting occasional stronger updrafts. Deep-layer vertical shear across much of the region was weak at generally less than 10-15 knots. This was still enough to support multi-cellular, pulse convection as the primary storm mode. Weak surface flow was also insufficient to support much cold pool propagation. Therefore, the primary severe risk was tied to individual pulse downdrafts as thunderstorms collapsed. This resulted in numerous damaging wind reports across parts of the region, including a few isolated reports in Rusk and Harrison County.

Thunderstorms across the Deep South were forced eastward by a shortwave across southeast Georgia and southeast South Carolina during late afternoon and early evening hours, encountering a very unstable airmass marked by high levels of mixed-layer CAPE, strong low-level lapse rates, strong 0-6 km bulk shear and inverted v soundings displaying high levels of downdraft CAPE. As a result, several thunderstorms became severe with the potential of damaging wind gusts while shifting offshore across coastal waters.

An embedded upper wave traversing the Central Plains, combined with increasing isentropic lift near a warm front, lead to widespread storm development across northern and central Oklahoma early on the 8th. Sufficient instability and wind shear lead to scattered reports of wind damage across central portions of the forecast area. In addition, a lightning strike to a residence under construction lead to a fire start.
By the evening, high-based convection across the Texas Panhandle organized into a small mesoscale convective system (MCS) and entered western/southwestern Oklahoma. Despite increasing stability in the boundary layer, storm organization and internal processes were sufficient to yield damaging wind events across west-central Oklahoma.

An upper ridge of high pressure intensified over the Southern Plains and extended east into the Ozarks and Central Arkansas through early August. Meanwhile, a weak surface front lifted back north into portions of Eastern Oklahoma and Central Arkansas, with moisture pooling observed near this front over all of the Four State Region. Very strong sinking motion observed beneath this ridge resulted in compressional warming, with temperatures climbing well into the lower triple digits across all of East Texas and limited mixing of dewpoints observed. Thus, heat indices ranged from 110 to 115 degrees each day throughout much of the first week of August.

An upper-level ridge of high pressure persisted over the Southern Plains and extended east into the Ozarks and Central Arkansas through the first week of August. Meanwhile, a weak surface front shifted south into the Middle Red River Valley of Southeast Oklahoma, Northeast Texas and Southwest Arkansas, with moisture pooling observed near this front over much of the Four State Region. Strong sinking motion observed beneath the upper ridge resulted in compressional warming, with temperatures climbing into the mid and upper 90s across Northeast Texas and limited mixing of dewpoints observed. Thus, max heat indices ranged from 105 to 109 degrees on August 7th.
