The episode as NWS LWX wrote it up.
A strong ridge of high pressure set up across the eastern United States for several days in early to mid June. High temperatures reached into the mid to upper 90s across northern Virginia on June 8. This combined with dew points in the lower 70s allowed heat index values to reach near 105. One heat related fatality in Alexandria was reported.

NWS Baltimore/Washington wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 8, 8:57 AM EST, 4 hours 3 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC
957 AM EDT SUN JUN 8 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN U.S. WILL DOMINATE THE REGION THE
THROUGH THE EARLY WORK WEEK. HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL THROUGH TUESDAY. THE HIGH WILL DRIFT EAST DURING THE
BEGINNING OF THE WEEK. THE CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS INCREASES ON
TUESDAY WITH THE APPROACH OF A COOL FRONT. TEMPERATURES WILL
RETURN CLOSER TO NORMAL BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
CURRENT ANALYSIS SHOWS HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN
CONUS/WESTERN ATLANTIC ALONG WITH A STRONG MID-LEVEL RIDGE CENTERED
OVER NORTH CAROLINA THAT POKES UP INTO OUR CWA. A PRESSURE TROUGH
DOES REMAIN OVER THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE CWA THIS MORNING. 12Z
KIAD SOUNDING SHOWS LOW-LEVEL TEMPERATURES VERY CLOSE TO SATURDAYS.
A WESTERLY FLOW AROUND HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR SOUTH WILL CONTINUE TO
PUMP HOT AND HUMID AIR INTO THE REGION TODAY. WITH A DEEP BOUNDARY
LAYER AND LOW-LEVEL TEMPERATURES SIMILAR TO SATURDAYS, MAX TEMPS
THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE CLOSE TO SATURDAYS WITH MID TO UPPER 90S
ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS...BUT A BIT COOLER ACROSS THE POTOMAC
HIGHLANDS AND RIGHT ALONG THE CHESAPEAKE BAY. WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE
UPPER 60S/LOW 70S THIS WILL CAUSE APPARENT TEMPS TO MAX OUT AROUND
105 DEGREES ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS EAST OF HIGHLANDS. WILL CONTINUE
HEAT ADVISORY FOR EXTREME EASTERN WEST VIRGINIA AS WELL AS NORTHERN
AND CENTRAL VIRGINIA...MOST OF MARYLAND AND ALSO THE CITIES OF
WASHINGTON AND BALTIMORE.
ANOTHER CONCERN FOR TODAY IS CONVECTION. MID-LEVEL CAPPING INVERSION
REMAINS STRONG JUST LIKE IT HAS BEEN THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS AND SHEAR
PROFILES REMAIN WEAK. HOWEVER...INSTABILITY CONTINUES TO BE QUITE
IMPRESSIVE WITH NAM/GFS BUFKIT INDICATING 1500-2000 J/KG OF MLCAPE
ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION. MID-LEVEL TEMPS/500MB HEIGHTS REMAIN
SIMILAR TO SATURDAYS...IF ANYTHING MID-LEVEL TEMPS MAY HAVE COOLED
A COUPLE DEGREES. WILL CONTINUE TO SIDE TOWARDS THE LOCAL WRF/NAM
GUIDANCE WHICH DOES SHOW SOME CONVERGENCE ALONG THE PRESSURE TROUGH
OVER CENTRAL VIRGINIA. THIS IS THE MOST LIKELY PLACE WHERE
CONVECTION WOULD INITIATE THIS AFTERNOON. IF ENOUGH CONVECTION
DEVELOPS THEN IT WILL BE ABLE TO PROPAGATE EASTWARD TOWARDS
WASHINGTON DC AS WELL AS THE TIDAL POTOMAC AND CHESAPEAKE BAY
LATE THIS AFTERNOON. DESPITE WEAK SHEAR VALUES...GIVEN THE
INSTABILITY ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS/LARGE HAIL.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM MONDAY/...
THUNDERSTORMS THAT FORM THIS AFTERNOON WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL VA
AND MARYLAND THROUGH THE POTOMAC/BAY BEFORE DISSIPATING THIS
EVENING.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
FOR MON...AFTER LOOKING AT MODEL SUITE OF GUIDANCE...MADE ADJUSTMENTS
TO DEW POINTS AND TEMPS THAT AFFECT HEAT INDEX VALUES. DECIDED THAT
FOR THIS PACKAGE...WILL DROP THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH FOR MON AS
AM CONFIDENT THAT WE WILL NOT MEET THE HEAT WARNING CRITERIA MONDAY.
IN ITS PLACE...WILL ISSUE A HEAT ADVISORY THAT RUNS FROM 15Z MON
THROUGH 03Z TUE. 85H TEMPS OF +20C AND SFC MOISTURE VALUES ON
MONDAY WILL BE SIMILAR TO TODAY. WE ARE GOING WITH A HEAT ADVISORY
TODAY SO CONSISTENCY SUGGESTS GOING WITH THE ADVISORY FOR MONDAY.
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA ON MON...WILL KEEP AN
INVERSION ALOFT IN PLACE THAT WILL SUPPRESS CONVECTION MONDAY.
HOWEVER...FOR AREA WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE ON MONDAY...STILL COULD
SEE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION DUE TO LOCALIZED
TERRAIN EFFECTS.
ON TUE...UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BEGINS TO RELAX...AND HEIGHT FALLS
APPROACH FROM THE OHIO VALLEY. LATEST SPC DAY 3 OUTLOOK HAS THE
NORTHWESTERN 2/3RDS OF THE LWX CWA IN A SLIGHT RISK. THIS IS
REASONABLE GIVEN THE LARGE INSTABILITY...2000 TO 3000 J/KG CAPES
ALONG WITH INCREASINGLY FAVORABLE SHEAR ALOFT.
BUT UNTIL ANY PRECIP FIRES...TUE WILL BE ANOTHER HOT ONE...AND
CLOSE TO REACHING AGAIN HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA. SOME UNCERTAINTY
EXISTS IN TEMPS...EVEN THOUGH 85H TEMPS ARE STILL IN THE +20C
RANGE THERE COULD BE MORE MID AND UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS SPILLING
ACROSS THE APPALACHIANS FROM UPSTREAM CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY. THIS
WOULD HELP KEEP TEMPS A TAD COOLER BY A FEW DEGREES WHEN COMPARED
TO MONDAYS TEMPS.
ON WED...FRONTAL PASSAGE AND FALLING 50H HEIGHTS WILL BRING
SLIGHTLY COOLER BUT STILL ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPS. AM NOT IMPRESSED
WITH PRECIP CHANCES WITH THE FRONT ON WED. GOOD DRYING AND WEAK
LAPSE RATES ALOFT SHOULD KEEP PRECIP CHANCES LOW ON WED. WILL KEEP
BEST CHANCES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA.
REST OF THE WEEK...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BEHIND THE FRONT...AND A
GENERAL COOLING TREND BACK TO MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES. IT
SHOULD BE DRY THUR THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND UNDER
MOSTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES.
&&
.AVIATION /14Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FOG HAS DISSIPATED ACROSS THE TERMINALS AND VFR CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS MORNING INTO THIS AFTERNOON.
ISOLATED/SCATTERED T-STORMS CAN DEVELOP AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. WILL
KEEP CB GROUP IN FORECAST TO INDICATE POSSIBILITY OF T-STORMS.
ON MONDAY...POSSIBLE MVFR VSBYS IN THE EARLY MORNING DUE TO FOG.
OTHERWISE VFR. CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON TSTMS ON TUE ASSOCIATED WITH
APPROACH OF A FRONT AND A LEE TROUGH. FRONT MOVES THROUGH EARLY
WED. THEN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS LATER ON WED INTO THE END OF THE
WORK WEEK...EXPECTING MOSTLY VFR THROUGH THIS PERIOD.
&&
.MARINE...
GENERALLY QUIET ON THE WATERS...OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS. WILL HAVE
TO WATCH FOR THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WHICH
COULD PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS AND PROMPT SPECIAL MARINE WARNINGS.
SOUTHERLY CHANNELING OF WINDS UP THE BAY MONDAY AND TUESDAY
AFTERNOON COULD APPROACH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS LATE IN
THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING EACH DAY...BUT SHOULD STAY
GENERALLY BELOW 15 KT. FRONT MOVES THROUGH EARLY ON WEDNESDAY. NOT
EXPECTING A NORTHERLY SURGE AT THIS TIME...BUT THERE COULD BE A
FEW HOURS OF SCA-LEVEL WIND GUSTS BEHIND THE FRONT WED MORNING.
REMINDER OF THE EXTENDED FOR THE MARINE WATERS...WED AFTERNOON
AND THUR SHOULD BE BELOW SCA FOR WINDS.
