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 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.
 
96, 99, 103, 101 so far
No rain yesterday imby so nothing to hold today under 100, maybe enough CU tomorrow to stop at 98/99, easy 100 on Wednesday, Thursday shouldn't be 100 but probably will be
 
Based on hourlies, it’s possible that either or both of Augusta and Columbia had lows of 80. If so (we should know later this morning) and if convection doesn’t bring lower temps than 80 the rest of today, this would mean:

-at Augusta (Bush) it would tie the warmest low for any date since 1945 and would be the warmest July low since 80 in 1990

-at CAE it would tie for the warmest July low since 1893

Edit: CAE’s low was 80 but Augusta-Bush was 78.

Large corn and soybean crops in the Midwest have for the Midwest increased avg RH, kept avg highs from being as high as they’d otherwise be, lead to higher avg lows, and have helped to prevent widespread longlasting summer drought for the last 30 years.

At 10AM today, Tampa is 2 F cooler than 24 hours ago and the wind is light from the S instead of from the seabreeze pinning rare N. Both of those along with climo point to very little chance of another 100 F high there today.
 
6 days ago was warmer and more humid at the same time as today here. Not looking terrible here, but tbf the models did greatly back off the heat here in the past five days.
 
The low at KAGS was definitely 81 apparently (and I can correlate and say my thermometer was at 80). The high was 98, but storms do appear as if they'll block it from hitting 100, down to 90.

We'll see though, as I lost track yesterday and it did apparently get to 100.
 
Still nothing of note here. Had a storm get within 2 miles before it weakened. Then it reformed off to the south and east. Maybe got .01 while places within 2-3 miles ger 1 inch+.
 
If the HRRR is right GSP will have to take chances of precip out of the forecast tomorrow outside of the mountains and also raise high temps. The 60% pops now should be 0% if that model is right. We may be going right back to the high temps we had on Sunday in the Carolinas too.
