Weather forecast office sourcewfo_sourceAWOS
Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeHeat indices peaked from 105 to 109 degrees during the afternoon. A total eclipse of the sun during the afternoon helped to keep temperatures and heat indices from climbing higher. The peak heat index at the Poplar Bluff and Sikeston airports was 108 degrees, and at the Cape Girardeau airport it was 105. A strong 500 mb ridge over the southeast U.S. and Lower Mississippi Valley resulted in hot and humid weather. Surface high pressure over the central Appalachian Mountains produced a south wind flow of hot and humid air.
