episode_narrativeA large high pressure system over the southeastern United States pumped in a hot and humid air mass across the Delmarva Peninsula for three days. The hottest day was the 8th. A weak trough brought in slightly cooler and considerably drier air on the 9th, although high temperatures still reached around 90 degrees. A stronger backdoor cold front (it moved from north to south) brought in considerably cooler air into the region the evening of the 9th. High temperatures reached 98 degrees in Milford (Kent/Sussex County Line) and Salisbury, MD, 97 degrees in Georgetown (Sussex County) and 94 degrees at the New Castle County Airport. There were five heat related illnesses reported in Wilmington on the 7th. Many schools in the state had early dismissals on the 8th. A fan drive was initiated for the elderly within Wilmington and the city's Department of Health and Social Service Division of Public Health issued safety and health related warnings. People were not the only ones to suffer, the Automobile Association of America (AAA) responded to about 180 calls of disabled vehicles throughout the state on the 7th.
