Local Weather History For September 6th...
An unusual nighttime warm up occurred at Will Rogers World Airport
early on September 6, 1992. At 12:50 AM, the temperature was 71
degrees with a south wind. Just 25 minutes later, at 1:15 AM, the
temperature was up to 83 degrees. The warm up was due to a
heat-burst, caused by downward flowing air from a dissipating
thunderstorm. By 2:05 AM, the temperature had returned to a more
average reading of 66 degrees.
