After a brief break in the heat, high pressure built back into the area, with a new heat wave beginning on the 8th. At the start of the heat wave, most high temperatures ranged from the mid 90s to around 100. By the time the heat wave peaked on the 14th, most highs ranged from the upper 90s to 108. Throughout the heat wave, heat indices ranged from 105 to 115 in most locations, but a few spots reached the 116 to 119 range. The passage of a cold front on the 15th and 16th brought temperatures down, with most areas dropping back close to normal for mid-August.
