Yes, it was considerably cooler Thursday in Hays.

After an official high of 102 degrees Wednesday recorded at the K-State Agricultural Research Center–not a record for July 12, that was 117 degrees back in 1934–the temperature dropped dramatically as a cold front moved through.

Thursday’s high was just 82 degrees, a drop of 20 degrees.

The front also brought a little bit of late afternoon rain with 0.09 falling at the Ag Research Center and 0.07 inches at the Eagle Media Center, 2300 Hall.

The weekend weather forecast calls for a 20 percent chance of rain with temperatures in the upper 80s and lower 90s.
