Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeBermuda high pressure dominated the region with broad southwest flow aloft. This flow ushered in hot and humid air. Temperatures across Litchfield County warmed well into the 90s each day. On Friday July 22nd, the Thomaston Dam reported a high of 100 degrees.||A weak boundary marked by a shift in winds and lower dew points moved southward across the region on Friday, July 22nd. However, the boundary did not reach Litchfield County until late in day and this was too late to bring any relief to the oppressive heat and humidity. High dew points in the upper 60s to lower 70s, combined with the hot temperatures, resulted in heat indices of 105 to 110 degrees. The boundary dissipated over the area Friday evening. Saturday was another hot and humid day but not as oppressive as Friday was.
