H-O-T !

Chief Meteorologist Craig Carnesi here...

So, technically I was right this morning when I said we would not set a record high today, but boy, was I close to REALLY being wrong.

We tied the record of 104 degrees today that as set in 1977. Other notable highs today:

108 at Dyess
100 at Sweetwater
106 in Brownwood
105 in San Angelo
99 in Snyder
*San Antonio broke a record of 97 set in 1993 by reaching 105
*Austin shattered their old record of 97 set in 1956 with a high today of 108
*Del Rio broke their record of 105 set in 1977 with a high today of 107
*Lubbock broke their record of 97 in1977 with a high today of 100
*Dallas-Fort Worth Airport broke their record of 100 in 1931 with a high of 102

The good news is that a cold front is progressing into Scurry and Stonewall counties at this hour and cooler temperatures are coming. Monday's afternoon highs will be lucky to make it into the 90s. And as I mentioned earlier, another, stronger cold front will arrive Wednesday into Thursday.
