| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A large upper-level high resulted in two to three 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 a few days. The center of the high gradually shifted east from the southern Plains on the 20th to the middle Mississippi Valley on the 22nd. The high then weakened and shrank on the 23rd. The daily peak heat indices at Paducah during the hot weather were 109 degrees on the 21st and 107 degrees on the 22nd. At Hopkinsville, the peak heat index was 106 on the 21st, 107 on the 22nd, and about 105 on the 23rd. A number of Kentucky mesonet sites and automated airport sites reported peak heat indices from 110 to 115 on the 21st and 22nd. Actual air temperatures reached the mid to upper 90's both afternoons. Overnight lows were in the mid to upper 70's. Cooling centers were opened in Marshall County to accomodate residents needing help. |
