| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A heat wave struck during the heart of summer across northeast Kansas. A high pressure region remained fairly stationary over the southeast US, while a lee trough sat over the high plains of Colorado. During the early part of the period, a stationary boundary established itself just south of the Kansas/Nebraska border, keeping much of the Topeka CWA in the warm, moist flow regime, and induced moisture pooling to the south of the boundary. The west edge of the front lifted to the north by the 10th, while the east side of the boudary sagged southward over Missouri, again leaving the Topeka CWA a prime target for warm Gulf moisture advection. The same scenario re-established itself the evening of the 11th, and led to the continuation of the hot, humid weather. Heat indicies across the region were above the 105 degree for three hour criteria over the course of several days during the event, measured by 6 local ASOSs and reported in local newspapers. A peak heat index reading of 113 degrees was recorded at Manhattan at 6pm CST on August 7th. Newspapers reported that several individuals were treated in local emergency rooms and hospitals for heat-related illnesses. One fire fighter died as a result of fighting a building fire on a 100 degree afternoon in the city of Topeka. |
