| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A Bermuda high pressure system at both the surface and aloft gave central and southern New Jersey a six day run of high temperatures in the 90s and dew point temperatures in the 70s. The two hottest days were July 4th and 5th. While high temperatures were not near record breaking levels, dew point temperatures were very high and this prevented any cooling at night, especially in urbanized areas. A generally offshore flow also brought the hot weather all the way to the shore. A cold frontal passage on July 9th briefly ended the hot and humid weather. The combination of the hot weather and increased demand because of the Independence Day Weekend led to power outages from July 4th through the 8th in Ocean County. About 30,000 homes and businesses lost power during that five day span. Power outages were reported in all or part of Berkeley, Brick, Dover, Island Beach State Park, Lavallette, Ocean Beach, Seaside Heights and Seaside Park. Highest temperatures included 96 degrees In Beach Haven (Ocean County), 95 degrees in Margate (Atlantic County) and Freehold (Monmouth County), 94 degrees in West Deptford (Gloucester County), Mount Holly (Burlington County), 93 degrees in New Brunswick (Middlesex County), Belmar (Monmouth County), the Atlantic City International Airport and Hamilton Square (Mercer County), 92 degrees in Millville (Cumberland County) and 91 degrees in Wildwood (Cape May County). |
