Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA strong and very persistent high in the upper levels of the atmosphere was responsible for seven consecutive days of heat indices at or above 110 degrees. The high was centered over the Lower Ohio Valley for the first few days of the heat wave, then it shifted slightly southward and weakened. The summer as a whole was among the hottest on record. The heat index mainly peaked between 110 and 115 degrees at the Cape Girardeau and Poplar Bluff airports each afternoon, though Poplar Bluff edged above 115 degrees on a couple afternoons. Heat indices during the early morning hours were mostly in the mid to upper 80's. Information concerning heat-related illnesses was not available from hospitals.
