| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Very warm air in the 80s and lower 90s, combined with dew point temperatures in the low 70s to around 80 degrees, resulted in widespread heat indices of 95 to 105 degrees across parts of east central Minnesota on July 20th. The area of heat index readings over 95 degrees stretched as far north as Highway 2 from the Grand Rapids area to nearly Duluth. The highest readings were across Pine and southern Aitkin Counties. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | There were heat index readings of 95 to around 100 degrees, primarily over Carlton County, but also over western parts of southern St. Louis County. The Minnesota Department of Transportation's RWIS near Saginaw reached 101 degrees, the Cloquet and Moose Lake AWOSs reached 98 degrees, and the Twig RWIS reached 96 degrees. The Duluth ASOS and a weather station in Esko only reached 93 degrees. The RWIS along Interstate 35 near Otter Creek and Atkinson reached a whopping 115 degrees, but it seems like such an outlier compared to all the other readings that it seems too suspicious to consider accurate. |
