Oh yeah, it is hot!

I took this screen shot of my "WRAL Desktop Weather" yesterday afternoon, thinking this would be the high for the day:



(Air temp: 101, heat index 109)

But alas, the sun kept shining and the heat kept rising until we hit and tied the HIGHEST high temperature reading for the RDU Airport... 105 degrees!
