| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong area of high pressure anchored over the East Coast and the western Atlantic, resulted in a stretch of excessive heat for the entire region to start off August 2006. The very hot air mass was accompanied by humid conditions as the dew points surged into the upper 60s and lower 70s for a time. It could have been worse, but the dew points lowered a little bit for most areas during the afternoon hours as the sunshine dried the air mass out for a time. Temperatures during August 1st through the 3rd topped out in the mid to upper 90s across Maryland's Eastern Shore. The combination of temperatures well into the 90s and moderate to high humidity pushed heat indices into the 105 to 110 degree range across the region.The spiking temperatures on August 2nd caused a power line in Rising Sun, Maryland (Cecil County) to ignite. The line, on East Main Street, was seen smoking and it knocked out power to about 300 customers for a little more than an hour. No injuries were reported as a result of the line fire. |
