What happened
The episode as NWS FSD wrote it up.
Areas near and south of Interstate 90 experienced the first dangerous heat of the year. Afternoon and early evening temperatures from 90 to 95, along with dew point readings from 72 to 77 resulted in maximum heat index values of 100 to 105 degrees. Some higher heat index readings included 106 degrees at Yankton, 103 degrees 5 miles south southeast of Centerville and Le Mars, 102 degrees at Parkston, White Lake and Sioux City, and 101 degrees at Gregory. Several roads buckled due to the heat near Sioux City.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD
1223 PM CDT Fri Jun 28 2019
.SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 347 AM CDT Fri Jun 28 2019
Upper level ridging will build into the region today, resulting in
the beginning of a well advertised heat wave lasting into the
weekend. With 850 mb temperatures ranging from 20 to 24 C across the
area by afternoon, looking at highs into the lower/mid 90s through
the Missouri River corridor - to upper 80s over east central
SD/southwestern MN where mixing temps are cooler and more cloud
cover may exist. Afternoon dew points are expected to be in the
lower 70s, and this in combination with the aforementioned
temperatures will result in heat indices of 95 to 103 across the
area. Left current Heat Advisory as is, lining up well with
presently forecasted apparent temperatures. SPC continues with a
Marginal Severe Risk in our far eastern counties for this afternoon -
this for the possibility of afternoon convection over the Upper
Mississippi Valley in association with a nearly stationary frontal
boundary draped across the region and a weak shortwave dropping
through the western Great Lakes. In spite of that, current models
would suggest that this convection would remain to the east of
our CWA, so kept it dry over our area.
It will be a warm and sticky night for tonight as dew points only
drop into the upper 60s to near 70 overnight. Lows will be much
above normal, only dropping into the lower 70s.
.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 347 AM CDT Fri Jun 28 2019
Upper level heights reach their peak across our area on Saturday,
and will see temperatures climb well into the 90s everywhere with
850 mb temps of 23 to 26 C over the region. Dew points will once
again be in the lower 70s, and with even higher heat indices than
today, another Heat Advisory will most assuredly be issued on future
shifts.
Hot temperatures will linger into Sunday, though may be a few
degrees cooler in the northwestern portions of our CWA as the upper
level ridge shifts to the south/east and a cold front begins to drop
into our area by afternoon. Models are in pretty decent agreement on
good convection chances by Sunday night as this boundary settles
into the area. Cannot completely rule out some severe storms with
this activity as instability will be high, though shear will be
pretty marginal.
This boundary unfortunately remains nearly station over our area
through the middle of next week. This will keep periodic
thunderstorm chances through the period as a series of shortwaves
slide across the region in an evolving zonal upper level flow.
Although temperatures will remain above normal for this time of
year, they will be more tolerable - with highs in the mid to upper
80s through the extended period.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon)
Issued at 1220 PM CDT Fri Jun 28 2019
MVFR ceilings have expanded through the morning and are slower to
erode. Should see a gradual decrease through the afternoon
however but with the easterly flow not changing much this
inversion will not be weakening. We will see another chance for
IFR and MVFR conditions on Saturday morning with a strong
inversion in place and very humid conditions below this inversion.
But with an increasing southerly pressure gradient we should have
a better chance to erode in the morning.
