Re: heat wave

It would appear all the cities mentioned in the above post fell short of 100 today (8/19) ...

Still, a few more impressive facts ...

Nashville, TN reached at least 99 for the 15th straight day (ENDED 8/20)
Memphis, TN reached at least 95 for the 20th straight day (the record is 21 set in 1980)
Paducah, KY reached at least 95 for the 18th straight day (tying the record set in 1941) (ENDED 8/20)

UPDATE 8/21:
Nashville topped 95 for the 20th straight day, breaking the record of 19 (June 1952)
And Memphis extended their 95+ streak to 22, breaking the record
