Dallas weather: 100-degree streak finally comes to an end
After 3 straight weeks of temperatures above 100 degrees, we expect high temperatures to finally stayed in the 90s on Monday.
An August cold front dropped the high temperature at DFW Airport to 99 degrees.
Temperatures reached 99 degrees by noon, but the front kept things from getting any hotter.
Some people in North Texas did see temperatures in the 100s.
Areas to the north stayed below the century mark, those to the south were above it.
For those who missed out on temperatures in the 90s on Monday, Tuesday should be a streak-breaker.
We have predicted the high to be 95 degrees on Tuesday, with a morning that will feel downright cool compared to what we have been seeing.
Either way, our 100-degree streak will end up being the 6th longest of all time in Dallas-Fort Worth.
The longest streak of all time was 42 days in the infamously hot summer of 1980.
This cold front comes after we set a new record high on Saturday with temperatures hitting 106. The previous high was 105 degrees in 1951.
DFW also broke a record for the longest duration above 80 degrees.
On Monday at 7 a.m. we reached 359 straight hours with temperatures at or above 80 degrees.
