The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
A warm and very muggy air mass was in place ahead of an approaching cold front. Although the best upper level dynamics were displaced north of the region into Canada, strong winds aloft (wind shear) moved into the area during the afternoon and evening hours. Despite marginal amounts of instability, the strong wind shear in place allowed some of the thunderstorms to organize into lines. A few of the thunderstorms along these lines became severe, producing damaging wind gusts. Thundertorms moved east of the region and weakened by the late evening hours, as the cold front moved across the area.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Albany, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 5, 4:11 PM EST, 1 hour 34 minutes earlier.
