Don't throw out all the other data just because you think there
might be a problem with one value.

I agree, but there seems to be enough mistakes to question
any out of the ordinary results.
I have seen Pasadena have 110 degree temperatures, and
the beach south of Los Angeles have temperatures in the 80s.

There were 192 records set
according to the NCDC site and many of the NWS reports are not
included in the NCDC data set.

No doubt with the stubborn high over Tenn.

But this is August, it has been hot after a cool July, and
day of year records are not all that uncommon with more and
more reporting stations, some not as old as others.

As far as I know, it the Ohio River valley has just had it's
6th warmest hot spell on record. Hopefully it will be a long time
before it breaks that record.
