That is some impressive heat! For quite a while the temperature reading at RDU has consistently run anywhere from three to five degrees above the NWS other reporting stations so I take their measurements with a grain of salt. 103 degrees might be a little high but I believe the temperature hit the century mark in spots today. The thermometer at my residence about ten miles SSW of the airport recorded a high of 99 degrees todayLooks like RDU hit 102 today.
Somehow, we are 5+ degrees warmer than Fayetteville and Greensboro.
Ima have to turn on the heat at night!

GSP and CLT just avoided the century mark, with both reaching 99 today. That is GSP's highest reading in 8 years. As pointed out, RDU reached 103; but don't worry, CAE was not to be outdone; 104!
Kept seeing 102 on the truck all afternoon, even in the shade. Then we were awarded about 1/3rd an inch of rain.

101 here at the house today. Sure was glad to see the rain this evening. Small amount but anything will help.

Moderate rain in Chattanooga Tn. Won’t be much but it will help.

Still hot and dry? Why wait when it’s what you have now! Some of the hottest I remember is after Fran.

Even with the known bias of the HRRR to mix out dewpoints too much at that range, it really was a very large miss for it… off by 15 degrees in both Richmond and Charlotte
It was interesting that it didn’t feel all that oppressive outside today, or at least no worse than it has lately, even with the 103F high. I guess the DP in the low to mid 60s at the hottest time helped.

Went down even further. Aiken hit 101, it's dewpoint actually dropped to 49. Humidity was 18% at one point. Shortwave high/subsidence pocket. Those areas that blasted the century mark today also saw max mix out. Charleston today never got above 95, dewpoints never mixed below 75. Ridiculous heat index readings across the Lowcountry. Witherbee maxed at 116, Summerville Airport hit 114 (technically Jedburg 5 miles N of Summerville, usually a more sheltered spot), and many 110 readings across the board. Charleston Airport (NWS) hit 107 today.
Starting tomorrow (later today), especially evening, I think rain chances increase for a lot of people.
If we miss tomorrow and Friday, we have a chance Sunday and early Monday.
If you miss Sunday (as the highest chance) go ahead and turn your property into a dirt track.

GIDDY UP!
Same back this way (Wet back porch). Hoping the early morning rain out west can hold together as it heads eastward. Looks promising right now but we've seen similar setups dissipate.
