The wider storm
From August 7th through August 10th, temperatures in the Kansas City area climbed into the 90s each day. Very high humidities pushed afternoon heat indices into the 105 to 110 degree range. The area saw only slight relief on the 11th, as highs were around 90 with the heat index in the upper 90s, and the heat index was back above 100 on August 12. A Lees Summit woman and two Kansas City men lost their lives to heat related illness.
