episode_narrativeA high pressure system that settled over the eastern part of the United States on the 20th and 21st prevented a weak backdoor cold front from reaching the Delmarva Peninsula on the 22nd. This started a heat wave that lasted up to five days across the peninsula through the 26th. The heat wave started to abate on the 25th and ended throughout the state on the 26th as cloudiness associated with Hurricane Bonnie and an approaching weak cold front prevented temperatures from reaching into the 90s. The hottest day for most areas was the 25th and included high temperatures of 96 degrees in Bridgeville and Georgetown (both Sussex County), 95 degrees in Prices Corner (New Castle County) and 91 degrees in Wilmington (New Castle County). No heat related injuries or fatalities were reported, but the combination of the high temperatures and low rainfall continued to stress agricultural interests in the state.
