Century Mark Broken

Over the weekend, Mesonet stations finally broke the 100 F threshold.
Two stations (Hooker and Goodwell) hit 102 F on Saturday, and two
stations (Buffalo [101 F] and Slapout [100 F]) hit the mark on Sunday.

Today, the western panhandle is getting in on the act, as Kenton
registered 100 F at 3:20 pm.
