| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | High pressure bought ample sunshine and warm southerly winds to the region between the 6th and the 10th. Afternoon temperatures soared into the 90s each day and dew points in the 60s pushed heat indices to between 98 and 112 degrees. At Washington Reagan National Airport, high temperatures recorded between the 6th and the 10th were 91, 95, 97, 97, and 96 degrees. In addition, overnight heat indices did not drop below 80 degrees on the 9th and 10th because the mercury never fell below the upper 70s. A "code red" alert was issued by environment officials in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area on August 8th and 9th due to bad air quality. |
