Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA heat wave gripped eastern New York from July 19th through the 21st. Temperatures soared into the low to mid-90s with dewpoints in the low to mid-70s. This resulted in heat index values in the 100 to 110 range in the warmest spots of the Hudson Valley. Saturday, July 20th was the hottest day for most areas. Due to the excessive heat, area cities extended hours for pools and cooling centers, and Saturday's races at the Saratoga Race Course were cancelled due to the heat for the first time since August 2006.||The hot and humid airmass provided fuel for thunderstorms that formed along the Lake Ontario shoreline during the late afternoon of the 20th. Two clusters of storms moved from the Mohawk Valley through the Capital District and into the Taconics during the evening, resulting in several reports of wind damage. The storms knocked out power to over 1,700 customers in Schenectady and Saratoga Counties.
