Several prominant records were recorded today - Richmond, Virginia (RIC airport) reached a high of 104°F! Additionally, persistent temperatures of 103°F were recorded for three hours at the airport. It was noted as one of the warmest readings since 1918. Lows remain in the 80s across portions of the Mid-Atlantic states. This heat definitely ranks as one of the most impressive waves in 2007. On another note, temperatures reached 97°F in portions of central FL.
