Weather's withering heights
By David C. Lipscomb

The Washington area is expecting a 10th straight day of temperatures above 90 degrees today after record-breaking heat that exceeded 100 degrees yesterday and prompted the electric-power grid operator for the Mid-Atlantic region to urge customers to conserve electricity.

Record high temperatures were set at all three major local airports in the afternoon yesterday, according to the National Weather Service.

At the top of the chart, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport recorded a high of 102 degrees, which topped the 101-degree record set in 1930.

Temperatures at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport reached 102 degrees, beating the record of 99 degrees set in 1980.

And, Washington Dulles International Airport recorded 101 degrees, which beat the 1980 record of 98 degrees.
