Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAn upper level ridge of high pressure built across the central United States and brought a prolonged period of excessive heat to eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa. High temperatures during this stretch reached the 90s to a little over 100 degrees and dew point temperatures were in the 70s and in some cases the lower 80s. This brought heat index values into the 105 to 115 degree or even higher range during the afternoon and early evening hours during this time. Low temperatures provided little relief dropping only into the 70s to around 80. Some relief spread across much of the area late on the 20th as thunderstorms developed along a slow moving weak cold front which stalled in southeast Nebraska. However, 105 to 115 degree heat index values continued across far southeast Nebraska for several days longer until a little strong southeast push to the front occurred.
