A strong upper level ridge of high pressure developed across the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, producing a record-breaking early season heat wave. Low temperatures in the lower 80's were observed in several locations, setting monthly records. Paducah tied its June all-time warmest low temperature of 81 degrees. There was one daily record high temperature that was broken at Paducah. This was only the 2nd time on record that Paducah observed four consecutive days reaching 95 degrees this early in the season (before June 20). The other occurrence was back in 1952 with eight straight days at or above 95 degrees from June 9-16. Along and southwest of a line from Paducah through Kentucky Lake to Cadiz, heat index values exceeded 105 degrees starting on June 12 and continuing through June 16. Northeast of that line, heat indices peaked above 105 starting on June 13. The most oppressive day was June 13th, when dewpoints in the mid 70's to around 80 produced heat index values of 106 to 116.
