Dense high clouds help Fort Worth stay under 100 degrees Wednesday
Dallas-Fort Worth failed to reach 100 degrees on Wednesday, May 14.
Temperatures were expected to hit triple digits Wednesday, although dense high clouds helped limit some of the heat, said Miles Langfeld, National Weather Service Fort Worth meteorologist. Instead, the Metroplex topped out at 94 degrees Wednesday.
Essentially, the dense high clouds blocked sun coverage over parts of the Metroplex on Wednesday, Langfeld said.
If Dallas-Fort Worth was able to reach 100, or even 96 degrees, it would have broken the previous daily record for May 14. The hottest temperature ever recorded on May 14 remains at 95 degrees in 1955.
