Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA large upper-level high resulted in four consecutive days of dangerously high heat indices from 105 to 115 degrees. The large high in the upper levels of the atmosphere expanded over much of the southern two-thirds of the United States for several days. The center of the high gradually shifted east from the southern Plains on the 19th to the middle Mississippi Valley on the 22nd. The high then weakened and shrank on the 23rd. The daily peak heat indices at Carbondale during the heat wave were 108 degrees on the 19th and 20th, 111 degrees on the 21st, and 106 degrees on the 22nd. Actual air temperatures reached the mid 90's each afternoon. Overnight lows were in the mid 70's.
