Record Breaking Sunday

Temperatures were warm enough Sunday to set a new record high temperature for Raleigh-Durham and for Greensboro. The high topped out at 71 around 3pm at the RDU airport breaking the old record of 70 set in 2001. In Greensboro, the high reached 69 breaking the old record of 68 set in 1933.

Here's a look at other Sunday afternoon highs from around the region --

  • Henderson-Oxford: 73
  • Lexington: 73
  • Lumberton: 73
  • Asheboro: 72
  • Fayetteville : 72
  • Goldsboro: 72
  • Smithfield: 72
  • Chapel Hill: 70
  • Louisburg: 70
  • Southern Pines: 70
  • Burlington: 69
  • Rocky Mount-Wilson: 68
  • Winston-Salem: 68
  • Mount Airy: 66

Monday will bring another warm day to North Carolina. Most of us should reach highs in the low 70s, but we do not expect to set any records. Monday's records stand at 77 for Raleigh-Durham and 75 for Greensboro.
