To find the median, we first need to order the temperatures in both cities from least to greatest.

For Dayton: 77 79 82 85 85 86 87 88 90 91
For Laredo: 79 80 81 82 84 86 87 88 88 92

The median is the middle value of a set of numbers when they are ordered from least to greatest.

For Dayton, the median temperature is 86.
For Laredo, the median temperature is also 86.

Therefore, both cities have the same median daily high temperature. The correct answer is: Neither city has a higher median daily high temperature than the other.
