This one could be interesting and I am not sure how much @FDWxMan can chime in given his job. Microburst would make sense as they were somewhat dying at that time but what catches my eyes for the tornado aspect is debris goes one way and then a little bit the other way.

This was brought up in the NWS/media chatroom, NWS thinks outflow winds likely.

-Storms outflow dominate at the time, with the outflow well ahead of the storms

-Tree damage motion is downward, whereas tornado should be upward.

-Change of direction could be from local eddy as winds moved through. (Think of atmosphere as a fluid)

Those outflow winds are probably what caused several toppled trees in the Valley West and Ashworth area. I live just southeast of there and the neighbor's tree that got taken out happened right at the start of the storm. Once that leading edge moved through, winds weren't nearly as bad.
 
Ok it's August, it's time for nights to get cooler and hints of that drier fall air coming through.

Right?


Right!?

I hadn't looked out the windows today yet and we have a lot of big branches down after the storm last night. Our association has some ash trees that they've tried to keep alive, but they lose branches like crazy. A couple more storms and we'll be without trees ;)

I believe you are asking for the false fall to start? Maybe get a couple of nice days (or at least nights) and then wham, back to 90+ just in time for labor day weekend and the first couple of football games.

My weather app is calling for high temps in the upper 70s to around 80 for the end of next week.

However, that app is also notoriously bad at predicting that far out.

Yep, starting Tuesday the week's forecast looks NICE. I'm sure even with that we won't be done with the 90's at some point.

National Weather Service has their projections out for the next 14 days which is showing far below normal temps for this time of year in the upper midwest. It'll be nice. Other than that, the upper midwest is far and away the toughest temperature forecasts to get right compared to the east/west coasts.)
