High pressure off the Atlantic Coast pumped hot and humid air into the Mid-Atlantic region.  This caused high temperatures to reach between 92 and 100 degrees August 1st through the 5th.  Dew points in the upper 60s to mid 70s forced heat indexes to soar to between 98 and 110 degrees.  Seven residents of Baltimore County and Prince George's County succumbed to the excessive heat.  In Baltimore City, a 56 year old man and a 74 year old man were found dead in their home on the 5th.  On the 6th, an 88 year old man was found dead in his home.  On the 7th, a 36 year old man being held in jail was found dead in his cell from heat related causes.  In Baltimore County, a 30 year old woman was found dead in her home.  In Prince George's County, a 51 year old woman died in her home on the 5th.  On the 7th, a 46 year old man died from a combination of drug use and the heat.  In Frederick County, eleven people in participating in an outdoor activity in Ijamsville were treated for heat illnesses. The heat was also blamed for buckling pavement on Interstate 70 near the Route 355 exit.  Several regional power companies noted record energy consumption during this heat wave, the hottest in 5 years.

A cluster of severe thunderstorms dumped large hail in parts of southern Sauk County, and then dissipated.  Another cluster of severe thunderstorms blossomed over western Dane County, resulting in wind, hail, and flash flood damage in the Pine Bluff area, west of the Madison metro-area.  In the Pine Bluff area, hurricane-force downburst winds reached estimated speeds of 70 kts (80 mph), resulting in toppled trees and power lines.  The fringe effects of this powerful macro-burst resulted in some tree damage north to the Cross Plains to Middleton area.  The thunderstorm cluster also produced hail up to 2 inches in diameter in the Pine Bluff area, resulting in major damage to at least 100 vehicles, and to roofs and siding of homes.  A one-mile swath of corn was leveled on the north side of Pine Bluff.  Up to 4.50 inches of rain fell in the Pine Bluff area in a short period of time, resulting in flash flooding that washed out gravel shoulders of several roads in the Pine Bluff to Middleton area.  At least a dozen homes sustained water damage to basement contents due to accumulating water up to 5 feet in depth.  Powerful thunderstorm winds also damaged trees and power lines in the Waunakee area north of Madison.  The concentration of damage in the Pine Bluff was the result of a series of thunderstorm cells developing in a stationary initiation location in western Dane County.  As each cell developed and moved east-northeast, a new cell would would replace it on the backside, aprocess referred to as "back-building."  Thunderstorm development was focused by strong warm-air advection between the surface and 10,000 feet above ground coupled with strong surface moisture convergence from eastern Iowa into south-central Wisconsin.  Surface dewpoints were in the 60s.
