| episode_narrative | The weekend of August 16th and 17th brought some of the hottest and most humid air of the summer into Delaware. High temperatures in most places reached around 100 degrees, while dew point temperatures (an indication of how humid the air mass is) were well into the 70s. Three heat related illnesses were reported in New Castle County. The hot weather continued to stress growing conditions across the state. The highest temperatures this weekend (on Saturday the 16th for most locations) included 100 degrees in Bridgeville, Dover, Georgetown and Lewes, 97 degrees at the New Castle County Airport and 95 degrees in Prices Corner. The high of 100 degrees in Dover set a new record, surpassing the previous record of 98 degrees set in 1954. The high of 97 degrees at the New Castle County Airport fell one degree short of tying the record for the date. The hot spell ended abruptly as a strong cold front moved through the region early on the 18th. |
