| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A dome of high pressure that had been centered over the southwestern U.S. around June 20-23 shifted to the north and east from June 23-27 bringing all-time record heat to the Great Plains and Midwest. From there the ridge shifted toward the east coast and brought record or near record heat to the Mid-Atlantic and southeastern U.S. from June 28-30. Literally hundreds of June and many all-time heat records were established during this period.||Numerous records or near records for all time June heat were established at climate observing sites in the local CWA including the highest all-time June reading (104F on June 29). This was the first 100F temperature in June at Roanoke since 1959. The 104F was tied for the second highest all time, after the 105F recorded several times in August, 1983. ||The closest official climate site to the North Carolina counties in the CWA is at Danville, VA (DAN) which also reached 104F on the 29th, the highest all-time June reading (previous record 102F in 1988) and 2nd highest of all time. The highest ever is 105F reached several times and most recently in July, 1990. ||In the North Carolina counties of the CWA most mountain observing COOP sites saw highs into the 90s on the 29th and over 100F readings were common in the piedmont counties. Yanceyville COOP in Caswell County was the warmest location, reaching 104F on the 29th. ||||In terms of impact, the heat wave was exacerbated by the massive power outages that occurred in the wake of the June 29 derecho. Thousands of customers lost power in the derecho and were without air-conditioning for periods ranging from several hours to a week or more. Numerous cooling centers were opened by local governments across the area. |
