Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAn upper level ridge of high pressure in place across the Southern Plains during the first week of August expanded east into much of the Ark-La-Tex during the second week of the month. After a brief respite in the oppressive heat and humidity on August 9th, temperatures on the 10th and 11th again climbed back into the mid and upper 90s. This ridge, which resulted in sinking air that compressed atop a dry ground, occurred over an area where low level moisture continued to pool from Southeast Oklahoma and much of Southwest Arkansas near a weak stationary front, and did not allow for much mixing. This resulted in heat indices again ranging from 105-110 degrees across McCurtain County Oklahoma on the 10th and exceeded 110 degrees across much of the county on the 11th, which continued through the 13th. Thus, an Excessive Heat Warning was issued for much of Southeast Oklahoma during the mid-afternoon of the 11th.
