What happened

The episode as NWS PAH wrote it up.

Heat indices peaked between 105 and 110 degrees during the afternoon hours. A combination of temperatures in the mid 90's and dew points in the mid 70's produced these hazardous heat indices. A southwest wind flow of hot and humid air ahead of a cold front was responsible for this first potentially dangerous heat event of the season.
