| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A prolonged period of hazardous heat and humidity occurred from July 18-24 in far western Kentucky from Princeton and Cadiz west. This is where heat indices peaked at or above 100 degrees for seven consecutive days. The peak heat index at the Paducah airport reached the following values: July 18 - 105 degrees, July 19 - 103 degrees, July 20 - 105 degrees, July 21 - 107 degrees, July 22 - 100 degrees, July 23 - 105 degrees, and July 24 - 105 degrees. Across the Pennyrile region of west Kentucky and the Henderson-Owensboro area, the duration of hazardous heat indices was shorter. For five consecutive days from July 21-25, heat indices peaked above 100 degrees. The heat index at Hopkinsville peaked between 102 and 105 each day. Local cooling centers were set up at churches or public buildings in a few cities, including Mayfield and Benton. State road maintenance crews adjusted their shift hours to avoid the hottest part of the afternoon. A weak surface high over the Tennessee Valley and southern Appalachians produced a light south wind flow of hot and humid air for an extended period. |
