Summer officially ended, but the hot weather did not. On Thursday, the high temperature for the Dallas-Fort Worth region reached triple digits for the 71st time this year, extending the record for days in a year with temperatures of 100 or above.The high of 101 was a record for Sept. 29, beating the 99 degrees from 1953. It is the area's third-latest triple-digit record; the latest is 106 on Oct. 3, 1951, and it was 102 on Oct. 1, 1979. But relief has arrived. A cold front moved in late Thursday, dropping the temperature to 76 at 10 p.m. Lows tonight and throughout the weekend should be in the mid- to upper-50s, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.
Weatherman says we may have one or two more chances to add another 100+ day. Hope not!
