| Episode Narrative | A large area of high pressure, both at the surface and aloft, brought record breaking heat to eastern Kentucky during the afternoon and evening hours of August 4th.

Heat indices ran between 105 and 115, with a few areas approaching 120 degrees, on this day. The summer of 2010 will likely rank as one of if not the hottest summer on record in eastern Kentucky. |
