July 17, 2023 Heat Event in the Death Valley Region

A high-end heat wave enveloped the Death Valley region during the middle of July, 2023. I saved a bunch of maps each day leading up to the hottest days. This web entry provides the maps for July 17, 2023 (or, around 00Z 18 July). The Las Vegas sounding for the afternoon of July 17 is not available. The 12Z sounding data are provided below.

The 12Z sounding for the 18th is included below since the afternoon sounding for the 17th is missing.
