102 was the official high temperature in Chattanooga Friday which just nudged out the old record of 101 set in 1968. The record streak of now 21 days 95 degrees or higher continues and we are still on pace for the hottest August ever with an average temperature of 86.2 degrees.
Thunderstorms made a return to the area. Some were severe with marble size hail reports from Cleveland and heavy rain in many spots. The rain helped cool things off for some of the high school football games, but other game sites were still hot and dry. The pattern that we saw Friday should repeat itself for Saturday as thundershowers once again pop up. Afternoon temps should stay below record levels Saturday, but still be plenty hot in the upper 90s.
