What the National Weather Service wrote

A member of the public reported three trees blown down from thunderstorm gust on social media.

The wider storm

An upper level trough on the West Coast slowly edged in between a ridge of high pressure to the east of the region. This allowed for monsoon moisture to move into the region along with strong southwest flow. Several days of isolated supercells occurred, bringing heavy rain and large hail to the region.

Began near Murphy (43.2200, -116.5500).
