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.

It's hard to heat up such a moist air mass to 100+. Heatwave doing work.
Wow, that's impressive for Charlotte! My numbers were coming from the hourly observation tables at the NWS website.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.
Same here haven't hit 90 yet, might need a jacketWe are 6 degrees cooler at 9:45am than we were yesterday.
Does the GFS usually overplay 2m temps?
