Very hot and moist low-level southerly winds became enhanced along and ahead of a stalled frontal boundary draped near to just north of the Interstate 20 corridor of East Texas and North Louisiana. An upper level ridge of high pressure also expanded northeast from Mexico across much of Texas. As a result, afternoon temperatures climbed into the mid to upper 90s over these areas. When combined with the high humidity, heat indices ranged from 110-119 degrees from the June 17th through the 20th. Although slightly cooler and less humid conditions moved into North Louisiana on June 21st, a 62 year old female was found dead in her home in Keithville (Southern Caddo Parish) following several days of no electricity after severe thunderstorms resulted in widespread power outages on June 16th. The Caddo Coroner's Office stated that the victim had suffered from previous health issues, and that the intense heat and humidity led to hyperthermia, and ultimately, her death.
