Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAn upper level ridge of high pressure built in across the Southern Plains during the first two weeks of August, while eventually expanding east into Southwest Arkansas and North Louisiana, resulting in afternoon temperatures climbing into the mid to upper 90s each day. This ridge, which resulted in sinking air that compressed atop a dry ground, occurred over an area south of a weak stationary front over Southeast Oklahoma and Southwest Arkansas, which only allowed for minimal mixing each afternoon. This resulted in heat indices consistently ranging from 105-110 degrees each day across North Louisiana from the afternoon of the 7th to the 11th. However, as the upper ridge moved into Southwest Arkansas and North Louisiana during the second week of August, afternoon temperatures climbed into the upper 90s to in excess of 100 degrees by the afternoon of the 11th, and when combined with the high humidity, resulted in a period of excessive heat over the region.
