| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A period of hot and very humid conditions was observed over eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa on June 22nd and 23rd. High temperatures on the 22nd were in the lower to mid 90s and in the mid to upper 90s on the 23rd. Overnight lows on the 23rd were in the mid to upper 70s. Dew point temperatures on the 23rd were in the mid 70s to lower 80s. The combination of the heat and humidity brought heat index values up into the 108 to 118 degree range during the afternoon of the 23rd. Since these extremely uncomfortable temperatures occurred with light winds, generally less than 10 mph, conditions became deadly for livestock, especially during the afternoon of the 23rd. It was estimated that at least 2,000 head of cattle died because of the heat in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa, most of them on the 23rd. Conditions improved a bit during the late afternoon and early evening of the 23rd when isolated thunderstorms and associated outflow brought a little cooler temperatures and increased winds. |
