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 2013 (21st-23rd) A late winter/early spring storm brought
snow to portions of Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri,
Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee...with portions of
north central Arkansas and south central Missouri
getting from 6 to over 8 inches of heavy wet snow.
Further south, strong to severe thunderstorms with
heavy rain, and large hail, were the rule.
In 1932 A tornado swarm occurred in the Deep South. Between
late afternoon and early the next morning severe
thunderstorms spawned 31 tornadoes in Alabama,
Mississippi, Georgia and Tennessee. The tornadoes
killed 334 persons and injured 1784 others. Northern
Alabama was hardest hit. Tornadoes in Alabama killed
286 persons and caused five million dollars damage.
In 1952 Severe thunderstorms spawned 31 tornadoes across
Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Mississippi, Alabama and
Kentucky. The tornadoes killed 343 persons and caused
15 million dollars damage. Arkansas and Tennessee each
reported thirteen tornadoes. The towns of Judsonia AR
and Henderson TN were nearly wiped off the map in what
proved to be the worst tornado outbreak of record for
Arkansas until the outbreak of Jan. 21, 1999. A tornado
one and a half miles wide at times, left a church the
only undamaged building at Judsonia.
In 1987 A winter storm in the Northern High Plains Region
produced blizzard conditions in western South Dakota.
Winds gusted to 70 mph at Rapid City SD, and snowfall
totals ranged up to 20 inches at Lead SD. The high
winds produced snow drifts six feet high.
In 1988 Bitterly cold weather prevailed across the northeastern
U.S. Portland ME reported their coldest spring day of
record with a morning low of 5 above, and an afternoon
high of just 21 degrees. Marquette MI reported a
record low of 15 degrees below zero.
In 1989 Snow blanketed the northeastern U.S. early in the day,
with 6 inches reported at Rutland VT. Morning and
afternoon thunderstorms produced large hail and
damaging winds from southwestern Mississippi to
southwest Georgia.
In 1990 The first full day of spring was a cold one for the
eastern U.S. Freezing temperatures damaged 62 percent
of the peach crop in upstate South Carolina, and
72 percent of the peach crop in the ridge area of
South Carolina. Elkins WV, which a week earlier
reported a record high of 82 degrees, was the cold
spot in the nation with a morning low of 16 degrees.
