The city had already broken its record for consecutive 100-degree days, with a total of 23 days in a row, breaking the record of a 21-day stretch in 1962.

ERCOT again pleas for energy conservation as temperatures soar

Another round of the record hot summer vs. the Texas electric grid has ERCOT again urging energy conservation

Even with a good chance of showers and thunderstorms Sunday evening and Monday, temperatures are still set to reach at least 100 again Monday. Slightly cooler air moving in could keep the high just under 100 by Tuesday.

“That'll be the day where finally, most folks see a high temperature below 100," said NWS Austin-San Antonio Meteorologist Eric Platt. "Although it won't be too far below 100 degrees."

Platt added that the area will then see a warming trend once again through Friday.
