highest/lowest temperatures

[Backscatter]

After seeing the extreme wx thread, I see what the current extremes are.

I am looking for a website that can give me the lowest official observed low and high for today... or any day for that fact.

Maybe something derived from NWS STPs or RTP reports.

Thank you!

You can also find this on your news wire under weather.

Actually... I should clarify that I know about the AP's Nation's Weather. I do have that programmed to come up in our weather center.

But I am looking more specifically for NWS data that might have this.

I know Accuweather had top ten places for the current time, but would like to know if there is something from the NWS that would give me the highest and lowest.

The best you can do is look for individual city climo reports to find what the highest and lowest for a given site was on any given day.

AccuWeather's summary page is HERE. (http://wwwa.accuweather.com/news-summary.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0)
I thought they used to do an international high and low, but I can't seem to find it. :(

Stumbled upon this old post searching for something else. HPC does publish a daily selected cities weather summary and forecast. National daily extremes are provided at the bottom. This product is also on weather wire, noaaport, etc. afaik.
