| episode_narrative | An early-season four-day heat wave, following a period of cool and generally cloudy weather, took it's toll on outdoor enthusiasts who were unprepared for the dramatic temperature swing. Two persons suffered heat stroke in Washington Co (MDZ003), requiring hospitalization. Temperatures for the period averaged in the mid to upper 90s, yet less than a week earlier, fruit crops in western Maryland were threatened by subfreezing temperatures. In fact, daily maxima one and two days prior to the heat wave were in the 60s. Several record high temperatures were shattered, including two at Patuxent River NAS (MDZ017) on the 19th and 20th. In fact, Patuxent River NAS was the sole official site to reach the century mark (on the 20th). Potomac Electric Power Co (PEPCO) induced a small-scale "brownout" in the Washington Metropolitan area to reduce energy consumption. |
