Space Shuttle Re-Entry Questions

I'm not sure if this has ever been asked before here but, while I was told the Space Shuttle reached temperatures on the order of 1650˚C
I'm not sure if it's ever been covered at roughly what altitudes and speeds these temperatures are reached.
Has there ever been a profile that listed the speed range the Shuttle was traveling at from when it starts to re-enter to when the speed goes from Mach 25 to Mach 20, and so on down to landing-speed (220 kn?)
