"100 degrees in Fort Lauderdale; ties all-time high"
Story here.
A record that was set during World War II -- six decades ago -- was tied Monday as temperatures reached 100 degrees at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and parts of South Florida.
The mark was recorded at 3:35 p.m., tying a record set on July 21, 1942, according to the National Weather Service in Miami.

In the coming days, the weather service is predicting a weak cold front moving in, which will bring more seasonable temperatures -- in the lower 90s. Thunderstorms are likely. . . .
Meterologist Gordon Strassberg explained that while many people associate Miami with high temperatures, it is unusual for it to reach the upper 90s.
''It's not like in Texas or Arizona, where they are in drier climates,'' Strassberg said. ``Here most of the time, our highs stay in the low, perhaps mid-90s. The sea breeze helps in the afternoon and also just the fact we're in a very moist and humid climate, we're not in a desert climate.'' . . .
