Yes, it was hot Tuesday. Very hot! But it’s summer, so it’s sort of the thing that happens this time of year. But the 100+ temps aren’t a frequent visitor in the summer season here in the Blue Ridge Mountains. None the less our NCL-Devils Backbone weather station hit 103° at 4:27 PM yesterday afternoon. Technically 102.6° but obviously that .4° is rounded to 103°. I don’t think you could tell the difference!
Here at our NCL office in Greenfield we hit a much cooler 101° at 4:51 PM Tuesday afternoon. Technically, 100.8° Higher up at our NCL-Wintergreen Nature Foundation on Devils Knob at 3500 feet, they obviously were the cool spot checking in at an 86° high hit at 3:14 PM.
The hot weather will continue again Wednesday with temps nearing or slightly above 100° in many locations.
A heat advisory continues until late tonight as shown on the map above.
By Thursday temps will moderate a little bit with high expected in the upper 80’s and lower 90’s rather than 100°. The chance for isolated afternoon thunderstorms returns on Thursday with a better chance on Friday and Saturday.

Stay cool!!
My thermometer shows the high temp was 102.6 also at 1:06 PM yesterday, at 1400 ft. elevation.
