This is the 326th day of the year, there are 39 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 1641 An observer at Boston MA recorded a "great tempest of wind and rain from the southeast all night, as fierce as a hurricane, and thereupon followed the highest tide which we have seen since our arrival here". In 1957 Extremely destructive Santa Ana winds blew from Oxnard to San Diego and inland parts of southern California. The high winds produced a 28,000 acre brush fire on a 40-mile front west of Crystal Lake. People were ordered off streets in some areas due to flying debris. (21st-22nd) In 1987 Eight cities in the eastern U.S. reported record low temperatures for the date. Elkins WV, reported a low of 5 degrees above zero. Gale force winds continued along the Northern Atlantic Coast. In 1988 Wet and windy weather prevailed across the western U.S., with heavy snow in some of the higher elevations. Winds gusted to 62 mph at Vedauwoo WY, and reached 75 mph at Tillamook OR. Shelter Cove CA was drenched with 4.37 inches of rain in 24 hours. In 1989 Strong northerly winds produced squalls along the shore of Lake Michigan, with heavy snow in extreme southeast Wisconsin. Milwaukee WI received nine inches of snow, and in Racine County there were more than one hundred automobile accidents. In 2011 Hurricane Mitch became the strongest late season hurricane in the Eastern Pacific basin, as a category 4 storm with 145 mph winds...although it was no threat to land. In 2016 Hurricane Otto became the latest hurricane formation on in the Caribbean Sea, eclipsing the mark of Martha (1969) by about a day. Otto went into central America on Thanksgiving Day, just north of San Juan De Nicaragua, as the southernmost landfalling hurricane in central America on record. He then remerged into the Eastern Pacific Ocean as a tropical storm on the 25th, before eventually dissipating. (22nd to 26th). --- þ Synchronet þ The Thunderbolt BBS - wx1der.dyndns.org .
