| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | High pressure off the Atlantic Coast pumped hot and humid air into the Mid-Atlantic region. This caused high temperatures to reach between 95 and 100 degrees August 1st through the 5th. Dew points in the upper 60s to mid 70s forced heat indexes to soar to between 98 and 110 degrees. At Washington Reagan National Airport, a record high of 99 degrees was set on the 1st and a record high of 100 was set on the 2nd. Highs at National Airport were 95 degrees or above for 6 consecutive days, making this heat wave the hottest in five years. |
