| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A large dome of high pressure that was centered across the mid section of the nation the week of July 18th, caused temperatures to rise into the 80s and 90s across the state. These temperatures combined with very high dew points in the mid to upper 70s, created heat indices between 100-110 degrees during the afternoon of Wednesday July 20th, and into Friday afternoon, July 22nd over portions of west central Wisconsin. ||A frontal boundary aiding in pooling of dew points and associated higher heat indices during this time period, especially along the St. Croix and Mississippi River Valley. ||The highest heat indices occurred between 12 noon and 7 pm. However, even the overnight temperatures only fell into the upper 70s to lower 80s, creating dangerous readings for those who did not have air conditioning or were caught out in the elements. ||The following are recorded highest heat indices in this three day period;||Near Hudson 110 degrees|Spring Valley 110 degrees. |
