Another Weekend Of Record Breaking Heat

MIAMI (CBS4) ― Another weekend of record high temperatures across South Florida.

Saturday, Miami's recorded high of 94-degrees broke the old record of 93-degrees set back in 1985. In Ft. Lauderdale, the thermometer hit 94-degrees on Saturday which tied the old record of 94-degrees set back in 1995.

Sunday, Miami is forecast to hit 95-degrees by mid-afternoon; if it does, it will tie a record of 95-degrees set in 1989. With a forecast temperature of 94-degres, Ft. Lauderdale is also expected to tie a record high set back in 1985.

Last weekend Fort Lauderdale set records on both Saturday and Sunday, reaching 95 and 96 degrees. Those temperatures shattered records from 1967 and 2006 respectively.

Miami didn't break a sixty-seven-year-old record on Saturday, only topping out at 93. Sunday, temperatures rose to 96 degrees to break a record set in 1989.
