This is the 163rd day of the year, there are 202 days left. On this day... Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov In 1881 Severe thunderstorms spawned more than half a dozen tornadoes in the Lower Missouri Valley. Five of the tornadoes touched down near Saint Joseph MO. In south central Kansas a tornado nearly wiped out the town of Floral. Hail and high winds struck Iowa and southern Minnesota. In Minnesota, Blue Earth City reported five inches of rain in one hour. In 1899 A tornado struck New Richmond, WI, killing 117, and injuring 200. In 1947 A heavy wet snow blanketed much of southern and central Wyoming, and gave many places their heaviest and latest snow of record. Totals included 18.4 inches at Lander, 8.7 inches at Cheyenne, and 4.5 inches at Casper. (11th- 12th) In 1969 Record late season snows covered parts of Montana. Five inches was reported at Great Falls and east of Broadus. Billings MT tied their June record with lows of 32 degrees on the 12th and the 13th. In 1983 The state of Utah was beseiged by floods and mudslides. Streets in downtown Salt Lake City were sandbagged and turned into rivers of relief. The town of Thistle was completely inundated as a mudslide made a natural dam. In 1987 Thunderstorms in Nebraska produced softball size hail around Fremont and Ames, and 3.5 inches of rain in less than one hour. Four and a half inches in less than an hour caused flooding around Ithica NE. A tornado destroyed a mobile home near Broken Bow NE injuring both occupants. In 1988 Fifteen cities in the southeastern U.S. reported record low temperatures for the date, including Asheville with a reading of 40 degrees. Drought conditions continued to intensify across the eastern half of the nation. Rainfall at Nashville TN was running 12.5 inches below normal. In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather from Tennessee Valley to the Central Appalachians in the afternoon and evening, and produced severe weather in Oklahoma and Texas during the evening and night. Thunderstorms spawned ten tornadoes, and there were 164 reports of large hail and damaging winds. Thunderstorms produced wind gusts to 100 mph at Amarillo TX, and wind gusts to 110 mph at Denton TX. Hail three inches in diameter was reported at Tucumcari NM. In 2013 (12th-13th) Widespread severe storms over the Midwest during the late evening, became organized into a squall line over Indiana before Midnight EDT. The line then accelerated east across Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey through Thursday morning, June 13, 2013 with an average ' forward speed of 47 mph. The bow echo/derecho traveled over 400 miles in about 6 hours during its peak intensity resulting in over 100 damaging wind reports. The most significant damage appears to have occurred during the late evening across parts of Indiana. In 2014 Hurricane Cristina intensified rapidly to 150 mph in the Eastern Pacific basin. She is the earliest second major hurricane in the eastern Pacific, since reliable records rbegan in 1971, eclipsing the former record of Darby in 2014 by 13 days. However, like Hurricane Amanda earlier in the season, which also got to category 4 status, Cristina is only a threat to shipping. With Cristina also becoming a category 4, it's the first time that there have been 2 category hurricanes through June in the Eastern North Pacific basin, since the beginning of the satellite era in 1966. Prior to Cristina, the earliest second category 4 hurricane was Hurricane Elida in 1984, which reached that threshold on July 1. --- þ Synchronet þ The Thunderbolt BBS - wx1der.dyndns.org .
