Emporia’s Municipal Airport set a record high temperature for the second time in three days.
The air temperature got to 100 degreees, above the previous record of 96 set in 1955. Sunday got to 100, above the daily record set in 1954. Monday also got to 100, but that was just short of the daily high set in 1954.
Relief is coming soon. A cold front will bring chances of showers and storms Wednesday, as well as a high of 89. The current forecast calls for sharply cooler conditions Thursday with a high of 64.
