Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA hot and very humid air mass enveloped Delaware on the 18th and 19th. High temperatures reached into the lower 90s, but dew point temperatures were in the mid 70s. The combination produced afternoon heat indices of between 100 and 105. In addition, the high dew points prevented temperatures from falling lower than the 70s at night. A cold front that moved through the state late in the day on the 19th, did not lower temperatures much, but humidity levels were much lower on the 20th through the 24th. Dew point temperatures on the afternoon of the 20th were 10 to 15 degrees lower than they were the two previous days. The highest temperature at the New Castle County Airport was 91 degrees.
