Event narrative

A large tree was snapped from the trunk, with many other smaller branches broken and strewn about.

Wider weather episode

Solar heating brought increased instability to the Missouri Ozarks, with adequate moisture and upper-level energy. As an upper-level shortwave trough pushed through the area during the early morning hours of July 4, 2024, shear and instability led to scattered thunderstorms. As a result, numerous trees were reported to be either uprooted or snapped, with multiple downed power lines resulting in power outages. Heavy rainfall resulted in flash flooding in Dallas County.
