Wednesday is the second day in a row temperatures rose to record numbers in North Texas, the National Weather Service in Fort Worth reported.
Temperatures reached 85 degrees at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport about 1:30 p.m., breaking a record previously set in 1911 at 83 degrees, the NWS said. Tuesday’s temperature reached 83 degrees.
Temperatures are expected to drop Wednesday night due to a cold front, but that could bring strong winds.
The weather service issued a hazardous weather outlook for North and Central Texas warning of a continued threat for grass fires through the evening, mainly west of Interstate 35, where low humidity and gusty winds may occur.
