Weather forecast office sourcewfo_sourceAWOS
Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeHeat indices peaked between 105 and 112 degrees across southern Illinois during the afternoon hours. From Marion southward to Metropolis and Cairo, the heat index peaked at or just above 110 degrees. Elsewhere across southern Illinois, the peak heat index was from 105 to 109. Actual air temperatures reached the lower 90's from Marion southward, and generally around 90 elsewhere. Dew points were in the upper 70's to near 80, which resulted in the very high heat indices. At mid levels of the atmosphere, a large ridge of high pressure dominated the southern half of the United States. A weak surface warm front over the lower Ohio Valley caused dew points to pool into the upper 70's to near 80.
