| episode_narrative | The combination of antecedent dry weather, a prolonged upper-level high pressure area, and the time of year produced a bona-fide heat wave across much of Virginia during the middle of the month. Unlike events of previous years, the apparent temperature was not quite as oppressive. Nonetheless, daytime high temperatures averaged in the middle or upper 90s for the 7 days, with the hottest readings occurring on the 17th and 18th. Intense media coverage of the heat and associated pollution parameters may have saved lives; no direct heat-related deaths were reported during the period in Virginia. |
