Tree damage, as well as damage to a metal building from downburst thunderstorm winds reported by media on Denham Road in Gonzalez. Time estimated from radar.

Wider weather episode

Another typical summertime convective regime was in place for the 26th. With the persistent ridging over the area, the convection had more dry air to work with, so the stronger storms were able to produce damaging winds across parts of southeast Louisiana before dissipating shortly after sunset.
