When I was a kid I lived in Goldsboro (..Dad in Air Force). You can add that place to the corridor. I think it's the sandy soil and flat terrain.
I always remember when I was growing up that whenever the Carolinas had our worst heatwaves, the Charlotte area would be around 100, but that corridor from Columbia to Raleigh would always be 104-107. I always wondered why that area seemed to get a few degrees hotter

yeah, Raleigh can get into the eastern Carolina heat. There's times it can be hotter than the eastern areas. I think it's because the sea breeze front gets right to the Wake County boarder and then fizzles with the nighttime "cooling" (or stabilization).

I drove from Charlotte to Charleston this afternoon from about 1pm to 4. Was 90 in Charlotte when I left. Crazy how the temps were 96 to 100 from Columbia to North Charleston, then when I crossed the bridges into Mt pleasant temp was only 84.

I can't imagine where it was 96....o_O

Looks like KATL had its second 90F day. I reached 88F at my house, warmest of the year.
 
Question is will... these storms actually make into Charlotte? Short answer no, they won't. We'll have a dust storm in 2 hours. Buuutttt, one can dream, right? ? Edit: I know we're nowhere near a drought, it just get tiring watching storms go *poof* over CLT.
