Occasional surges of monsoonal moisture
resulted in periods of thunderstorms
across western Colorado during the
month of July, mainly during the second
half of the month. However, typical hot

month and the rainfall that did occur
had little impact on the drought
conditions across the area. Northwest
Colorado remained in moderate to severe
drought conditions. Although the
remainder of western Colorado was no
longer categorized as being in a
drought, multiple years of below normal
precipitation continued to cause water
supply concerns. For a continuation on
this drought situation please see the

This human-caused wildfire was named
the Turkey Track Fire and occurred in
Horse Thief Creek Canyon near Debeque.

fire quickly grew to 450 acres and
changing winds made containment
difficult. More than 100 firefighters
and two air tankers battled the blaze.
One home and a garage were destroyed by
the fire. Additionally, a small camper
trailer and a water tender truck were
overtaken by the flames.

thunderstorms brought trees, utility
poles, and power lines down. In Hebron,
approximately 40 trees were knocked
down as these storms pushed through the
area.
Lightning and flash flooding were also
produced from these storms. In

Heavy rain associated with the remnants
of Tropical Storm Cindy fell across
Delaware during the first half of the
day on the 8th. The rain itself started
during the evening of the 7th and ended
during the afternoon of the 8th. Storm
totals averaged two to three inches but
neared five inches toward the Maryland
border. The heavy rain caused some
field and roadway flooding, but did not
fall in a concentrated burst. Thus no
serious stream or river flooding was
reported. The combination of the heavy
rain and northeast winds gusting around
20 to 30 mph knocked down a few weak
trees and caused about 100 homes to
lose power in New Castle County.
Specific storm totals included 4.55
inches in Delmar (Sussex County), 2.95
inches in Dover (Kent County), 2.50
inches in Lewes (Sussex County), 2.40
inches in Blackbird (New Castle
County), 2.08 inches in Redden (Sussex
County), 2.04 inches in Georgetown
(Sussex County) and 1.76 inches at the
New Castle County Airport.
The remnants of Tropical Storm Cindy
moved from near Atlanta, Georgia at 8
a.m. EDT on the 7th northeast to near
Washington, D.C. at 8 a.m. EDT on the
8th, lower Delaware at 2 p.m. EDT on
the 8th and about 100 miles east of
Atlantic City at 8 p.m. EDT on the 8th.

A hot and very humid air mass enveloped
Delaware on the 18th and 19th. High
temperatures reached into the lower
90s, but dew point temperatures were in
the mid 70s. The combination produced
afternoon heat indices of between 100
and 105. In addition, the high dew
points prevented temperatures from
falling lower than the 70s at night. A
cold front that moved through the state
late in the day on the 19th, did not
lower temperatures much, but humidity
levels were much lower on the 20th
through the 24th. Dew point
temperatures on the afternoon of the
20th were 10 to 15 degrees lower than
they were the two previous days. The
highest temperature at the New Castle
County Airport was 91 degrees.

The most hottest and humid air mass of
the summer so far occupied Delaware
from the 25th through the 27th. This
air mass had as its origin the desert
southwest in the United States and a
ridge of high pressure aloft brought
this air mass east with it through the
rest of the country. The hottest and
most humid day was the 27th. This was
the hottest day of the year so far for
most places and the highest
temperatures seen in many areas since
August of 2002. The combination of high
temperatures and humidity levels pushed
afternoon heat indices to between 105
and 110 degrees on the 27th. In
addition to the excessive heat, a code
orange alert was in place because of
high ozone levels.
The PJM Interconnection recorded a
world record for electricity usage on
the 26th: 135,000 megawatts. The PJM
coordinates the movement of electricity
in Delaware and twelve other states
from North Carolina to Illinois. On the
27th, PJM lowered voltage to certain
customers by five percent due to the
stress on the high voltage lines.
Locally Delmarva Power and Light set a
usage record of 3,950 megawatts on the
26th. The strain of the heat caused
about 12,000 Delmarva Power and Light
customers to lose power during the
excessive heat spell.
In Sussex County officials directed the
