The Heat Was on in Elkton Today

Posted on July 18, 2013March 9, 2024 by admin

After making it through another day in this July heat wave, the old Main Street in Elkton was looking good this evening.  The thermometer soared to the mid-90s in the late afternoon, but one towering, puffy cumulus cloud hanging near the Elkton United Methodist Church as businesses closed in the county seat made things look cooler.  But once you stepped out of an air-conditioned space you realized we were in for an uncomfortable evening, as the oppressive conditions continued to hang around.  With dusk approaching the mercury retreated to an uncomfortable 87-degrees, which the Weather Bureau said feels like 104-degrees.
