It did not reach 100°. The high was 99°.

While it may not have reached 100F officially at the Park, the 99/81 was the first day in recorded history with that specific high and low. A weathergami!

Incidentally, this was probably the largest outbreak of Weathergamis since this has been tracked [which admittedly has only been a couple of years].  A significant number of weathergamis spread from the Plains into the Upper Midwest and Upper Great Lakes, driven by unprecedented low temperatures. Several sites had record high minimum, which by definition will yield a weathergami. Many other stations had low temperatures that have only occurred a handful of times in recorded history and were paired with high temperatures never before seen. Then, this shifted over to New England and the Mid-Atlantic Coast. Over northern New England, high temperatures reached levels seldom ever achieved, and paired with low temperatures that they had never before been paired with. In the Mid-Atlantic, the weathergamis were driven by a mix of unusually high maximum and minimum temperatures, leading to unique pairings. An interesting way to look at this hot spell.
