The episode as NWS SHV wrote it up.
The outer bands of Tropical Storm Beryl began to spread northwest across portions of West Central Louisiana and Deep East Texas during the early and mid afternoon hours of July 7th, as the parent tropical storm began to shift north across the Western Gulf of Mexico. Strong heating and instability were present ahead of this cyclone, with increasing large scale ascent contributing to the development of isolated severe thunderstorms as they intensified over Central Angelina County Texas. As a result, damaging winds downed several trees near and north of Lufkin before weakening.

(18Z TAFS) Issued at 148 PM CDT Sun Jul 7 2024 VFR conditions will continue this afternoon and much of tonight, before conditions begin to deteriorate with the landfall of TS Beryl along the middle TX coast Monday morning. Cu cigs have developed early this afternoon across much of E TX, with the cu field more scattered elsewhere, with scattered convection having recently developed SE of TYR, which will gradually spread NW through mid-afternoon. More concentrated convection associated with the outer bands of Beryl have shifted NW into Deep E TX, and will affect LFK by or shortly before 20Z, with additional scattered convection expected to develop and spread N to the I-20 terminals of E TX/N LA between 23-02Z. Gusty winds to near 30kts, reduced vsbys, and MVFR cigs will be possible in/near the convection before diminishing, with AC/cirrus cigs lingering through the evening and overnight hours. However, MVFR cigs are expected to develop after 06Z Monday over Deep E TX/WCntrl LA, before developing farther N to the TYR/GGG/SHV terminals by/after 12Z. Others areas of stratocu should develop between 12-15Z across the remainder of the region, gradually lifting through midday. The convective bands surrounding the center of Beryl should begin affecting LFK between 12-16Z, where RA/vsby reductions were added. Did insert VCSH mention for TYR/GGG by 15-16Z, with the more impactful cigs/vsbys reductions in RA affecting SHV by/after 18Z. ESE winds 5-10kts this afternoon will diminish to around 5kts after 00Z. /15/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
