Cold front eases record-breaking heat in North Dakota

RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — A cold front moving through the region has eased record-breaking heat this week in North Dakota. The National Weather Service says Tuesday’s (Sept. 28, 2021) reading of 100 in Dickinson appears to be the latest in the year that the state has recorded a triple-digit temperature. The temperature in Dickson was 2 degrees higher that the city’s previous record, set in 1905. Bismarck also had a record high Tuesday of 98 degrees, 1 degree higher than the city’s 1905 record for the date. Hot weather also covered eastern North Dakota. Grand Forks eclipsed its century-old record with a high of 91 degrees.
