Happy Friday North Texas. Temps are well below average this morning and even at record cold levels. Just after 5AM the temp at DFW dropped to 66° which is a new record low for this date.

It can get cold in July but we haven’t seen a record low temperature at DFW since May 4th, 2013.

This is the first time a record low has been recorded in July since 1994! So with temps in the mid 60s this AM, you can figure out that we will have cooler than average day ahead. A lot of cloud cover remains in place and will thing through the day but don’t expect temps to warm into the 90s.

Temps will warm back to near average by the end of the weekend as a mid-level ridge moves back in to the southern plains. It is going to get even warmer next week as moisture and humidity returns. So enjoy this cool July treat!

Record low?

This is the first time a record low has been recorded in July since 1994!

With that caveat the writer is correct, but it was not a record low.

T'was 67 degrees on my highly unreliable AcuWrong wireless thermometer but only a tad under 70 on my spring-powered buggy-whip device.
