A prolonged period of late summer heat and humidity followed an unusually cool July. For eight consecutive days, the heat index peaked between 100 and 110 degrees each afternoon. The heat index reached as high as 115 at some locations in the Henderson/Owensboro area on the 23rd. Surface high pressure over the central Gulf coast region from the 20th to the 24th moved to the southern Appalachian Mountains by the 25th. This high produced a continuous supply of heat and humidity. The triple-digit heat indices ended a couple days sooner along the Tennessee border.
