| episode_narrative | A large ridge of high pressure both at the surface and aloft along the western Atlantic Ocean produced six consecutive days of heat and increasing humidity across southeastern Pennsylvania from June 26th through July 1st. A cold front broke the excessive heat with strong to severe thunderstorms on July 1st. High temperatures reached into the mid 90s and combined with the humid air mass produced afternoon heat indices of around 100 degrees. There were three heat related deaths (two in June and one in July). A 70-year-old woman, a 58-year-old man and a 77 year-old woman all perished because of the heat in Philadelphia. June 28th and 30th were the hottest days for most locations. Highest temperatures included 97 degrees at the Franklin Institute within Philadelphia, 96 degrees in Perkasie (Bucks County), 94 degrees at the Philadelphia International Airport and West Chester (Chester County), 93 degrees at the Northeast Philadelphia Airport and 91 degrees in Doylestown (Bucks County) and Pottstown (Montgomery County), |
