The last Excessive Heat Watch for us was July 21-22, 2016 but that was only for 31 hours.
July 17-20, 2011 we were under an EH Watch for 81 hours that was the last one longer than this.
Those have been our only two in the past 15 years.

it would become elevated over the surface inversion. if it was well formed it would still be able to punch through the cool layer and bring strong winds to the surface
