Isolated thunderstorms developed across the region during the afternoon and early evening hours of June 28th. These storms developed in a very unstable atmosphere and given the fact that temperatures were well into the 90s and approaching 100 degrees when these thunderstorms developed, there was a sufficient layer of drier air in the lower levels of the atmosphere.

The episode as NWS SHV wrote it up.
Isolated thunderstorms developed across the region during the afternoon and early evening hours of June 28th. These storms developed in a very unstable atmosphere and given the fact that temperatures were well into the 90s and approaching 100 degrees when these thunderstorms developed, there was a sufficient layer of drier air in the lower levels of the atmosphere. Therefore, when these storms dissipated, they produced damaging wind gusts.
