What the National Weather Service wrote

The Case RAWS recorded consecutive maximum daily high temperatures of 95 degrees or greater on Aug. 8th and 9th.

The wider storm

High pressure from the four corners region extended northward into the Pacific Northwest, which resulted in well above normal temperatures across the region for several days. Many stations saw temperatures exceed critical heat risk thresholds, while stations in some mountain zones saw high temperatures consecutively meet or exceed 95 degrees under the strengthening high pressure aloft.
