What happened
The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
An intense Bermuda high became established over the mid Atlantic region during the Independence Day weekend. This high pumped heat along with very high humidity across extreme southern Vermont, especially on July 5 and 6. Temperatures soared to 90 or higher in valley locations while dewpoints climbed well into the 70s. At the Albany International airport, the temperature peaked at 94 on July 5 and 95 on July 6. However after combining humidity values, the heat index reached as high as 105 on both days. Temperatures were similar to Albany in valley locations of the southern Greens, but a little cooler over higher elevations.
