The hot spot in North Carolina today among regularly reporting stations according to the NWS was Charlotte with a high of 101. I'm surprised that KRDU didn't reach 100 degrees. The highest reading I saw was 98 there.

Charlotte evidently hit 102 per this:
CLT :CHARLOTTE : 102 / 78
Link:
Assuming the 102 in that table is accurate:
-that’s the hottest at Charlotte since way back on 7/1/2012!
-there have been only 11 days since 1960 of 102+
-But there were 11 days of 102+ in just the 1950s!
-That link says RDU hit 99 today.

It's hard to heat up such a moist air mass to 100+. Heatwave doing work.

Yeah that's why we haven't been close yet but the official dewpoint this morning was 77
This is rare for us to not hit 100 yet. Only about 25 July's with zero

GSP hit 100 for the second straight day, that doesn't happen often. CLT indeed hit 102 per NWS after 101 yesterday. CAE hit 100 but they have not gotten the brunt of this; normally if GSP is 100 they'll be 103 to 105.

It did end up hitting 100 at KAGS late in the day. Pretty happy that I went swimming before I left the hotel to erase a day of being outside in this.
101 predicted tomorrow, but if the HRRR is right, clouds might try to bail me out in the evening (or who knows, I might choose to not go outside at all because of storms or heat).

Wow, that's impressive for Charlotte! My numbers were coming from the hourly observation tables at the NWS website.
