| episode_narrative | A heat wave affected the Maryland Eastern Shore during the work week of July 20th. The hottest day for the heat wave and the summer for most areas was the 22nd. A weak trough brought in slightly cooler air on the 23rd. A strong cold front that moved through the Delmarva Peninsula early in the day on the 24th brought in a much drier and cooler air mass for the upcoming weekend (July 25th and 26th). The highest temperatures included 99 degrees at the Baltimore-Washington International Airport and Salisbury and 98 degrees in Bridgeville (Delaware). The combination of the heat and high ozone concentrations caused about a 30 to 40 percent increase in cardiac and respiratory emergencies in Cecil County. For three consecutive days customers of Delmarva Power and Light set power usage records and reached 3,053 megawatts at 6 p.m. EDT on the 22nd. |
