Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAfternoon heat indices peaked from around 105 to 115 degrees on three consecutive days. On the 27th, heat indices topped out around 105. The peak heat index on the following two days was around 110. The maximum observed heat indices at several cities over the three-day period included: 113 degrees at Paducah, 114 at Owensboro and Henderson, 117 at the Princeton mesonet site, 111 at Murray, 110 at Madisonville, and 108 at Fort Campbell. All of the preceding sites were airport sites except Princeton. A 500 mb high over the southern Plains built slowly east and northeast into the Mid-Mississippi Valley. At the surface, weak high pressure over the Tennessee Valley produced a persistent southwest wind flow.
