Another Record Set Thursday

Thursday's high temperature or 104 will go down in the record books as the hottest temperature at RDU for August 9. The old record was 100 set in 2001. That 104 was only one degree of the all time high temperature 0f 105 at RDU. Charlotte was also 104, which tied the all time record high for the Queen City.

Here's a look at other high temperatures from Thursday around our area:

• Laurinburg: 108
