The record high for DFW for today, October 14th is 99\u00b0F set in 1910. The record for tomorrow, October 15th\u00a0is 92\u00b0F\u00a0set in 1999. Forecasted temperatures are to be in the 97\u00b0F to 100\u00b0F range for today and tomorrow. Likely making both records in jeopardy. The hottest day will likely be today given the strength of the overhead ridge and the southwest\/westerly downslope components to the winds. If we reach 100\u00b0F today, it will set an all time record for the latest DFW has ever hit the triple digits by a wide margin. That would truly be an incredible feat! Given that is almost a 40\u00b0F\u00a0diurnal\u00a0temperature difference\u00a0(extremely rare for us), and more characteristic of a desert climate,\u00a0\u00a0means we will probably stay just under the century mark. Tomorrow should be a degree or so cooler as the upper ridge weakens a tad, but the record is only 92\u00b0F, and that is a certainty it will be broken, as forecasted highs will be in the upper 90s, yet again. A cold front is on tap for Friday, but given how dry we are ahead of it, it will not produce any rain. However, it will lower temperatures significantly over the weekend with lows in the low 50s and highs struggling to reach 80\u00b0F, making for a truly nice autumn weekend. A stronger trough and system looks promising for the middle of next week for the best rain chances in awhile and a more significant autumn cool down, but more on that later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
