| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A ridge of high pressure brought a record breaking heat wave across lower elevations in north central Idaho August 9th and 10th. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | The Pittsburg RAWS reached 116 on the 9th and 119 on the 10th. RAWS have a well documented warm bias, so these temperatures are difficult to compare to other observations. Nevertheless, in this notoriously hot location, 119 appears to be the warmest in its period of record going back to 1993. Furthermore, the Slate Creek RAWS reached 113 on the 9th and 114 on the 10th. Finally, Riggins reached 109 on the 10th, one degree shy of the record high of 110, with observations going back to 1896. |
