| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A developing upper level low pressure trough in the mid and upper Mississippi Valley helped push a weak cool front into north central Texas on August 20 and 21. This front helped to increase compression - and heating - of the surface air mass across South Texas and Deep South Texas, while drawing up additional tropical moisture from the southeast. The result was two consecutive nights of widespread 80 or higher degree ambient temperature, along with a single day of afternoon heat index values which reached or exceeded 111 for 2 to 4 hours across much of the Rio Grande Valley. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | The 2 meter observation platform at the Falcon Lake Mesowest location near the Starr/Zapata County line carried heat index at or above 111 for nearly five hours during the afternoon of the 20th, peaking at 115 at 3 PM local time before gradually falling back. Overnight lows by the 21st remained above 80, but heat index only briefly touched 111 for about an hour during the afternoon of the 21st. |
