Wider weather episode

Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms developed across parts of Nacogdoches County during the afternoon on August 18th. These thunderstorms formed within an environment with slightly more favorable mid-level lapse rates of around 7 C/km and hot temperatures near 100 degrees. Weak deep layer shear of 10 knots or less limited storm organization, but despite the unorganized nature of the convection, very strong heating and instability supported strong to marginally severe thunderstorms capable of isolated microbursts and wind damage. As a result, a few instances of damaging wind gusts were reported across Nacogdoches County within the city limits of Nacogdoches.
