The warm weather from the past week has transitioned to cooler temperatures.
The National Weather Service (NWS) in Midland reported on X that Saturday's temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit on February 8 broke the previous record of 83 set in 1994. "If it feels like a broken record because of all of our broken records, then you're right," the organization wrote. "For the sixth day in a row, Midland Intl has tied or set a new record high. This should be the last one broken for a while."
According to NWS Midland, much-needed rain is possible this week as Midland County remains in a drought. "An increase in moisture finally returns to the area tonight, raising chances of drizzle and light rain showers as we approach the new work week."
