The heat, in combination with very humid air, resulted in afternoon heat indices between 100 and 110 degrees. A record high was recorded at the Eastern Region Airport on the 7th. High temperatures on the 7th included 97 degrees at Charles Town, 96 degrees at Keyser, 98 degrees at Moorefield, and 94 degrees at Martinsburg.
