| episode_narrative | High pressure sat off the Mid-Atlantic coast from the 4th through the 7th, acting like a heat pump drawing in extremely warm and humid air. Temperatures on the 4th through early on the 7th were oppressively hot, and extremely humid conditions added to the misery. These conditions continued until a cold front swept through the area during the afternoon of the 7th, ushering cooler and much less humid air. The mercury soared into the upper 90s to lower 100s during the period. Dew points were in the lower to middle 70s, creating heat indices between 105 and 115 degrees. High temperatures on the 4th included 101 degrees at Berkeley Springs, 99 degrees at Keyser, 98 degrees at Romney and Charles Town, and 97 degrees at Mathias. Afternoon readings on the 5th included 103 degrees at Berkeley Springs, 101 degrees at Keyser, 100 degrees at Mathias, Moorefield, Charles Town, and Romney; 99 degrees at Martinsburg, and 98 degrees at Wardensville. Highs on the 6th included 102 degrees at Sugar Grove, 100 degrees at Charles Town, Martinsburg, Mathias, Moorefield, Romney, and Keyser; 98 degrees at Wardensville, and 96 degrees at Petersburg. Because of the 4th of July holiday weekend, many people were inconvenienced by the oppressive conditions. Those who spent considerable time outdoors were subject to heat related illnesses. Three people were treated at Martinsburg City Hospital for heat exhaustion on the 5th. Berkeley County reported a handful of calls from residents complaining of heat related problems. Power compaines reported extremely high energy consumption during the late afternoon on the 5th and 6th. |
