Today is Tuesday March 22, 2016.
This is the 82nd day of the year, there are 284 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 1920 A spectactular display of the Northern Lights was
visible as far south as Bradenton FL, El Paso TX, and
Fresno CA. At Detroit MI, the display was described
"so brilliant as to blot out all stars below first
magnitude". (22nd-23rd)
In 1936 A great flood crested on rivers from Ohio to Maine.
The flood claimed 107 lives and caused 270 million
dollars property damage.
In 1954 Six to ten inch rains caused the Chicago River to
overflow its banks.
In 1987 An intense storm produced heavy snow in the southern
and central Rockies, and high winds from southern
California to West Texas. Wolf Creek Pass CO received
24 inches of snow, and winds gusted to 69 mph at
Ruidoso NM. Blizzard conditions were reported in
eastern Colorado.
In 1988 Rain and high winds battered the Northern Pacific Coast
Region, with wind gusts to 78 mph at Ocean Shores WA.
The high winds uprooted trees and down power lines.
Ten cities in the northeastern U.S. reported new record
low temperatures for the date. Eight cities in the
central U.S. reported record highs. Southerly winds
gusting to 60 mph helped push the mercury at Ottumwa IA
to a record warm reading of 83 degrees.
In 1989 Six cities in the Great Lakes Region, and three in
southern Texas, reported new record low temperatures
for the date, including Alpena MI with a reading of
9 above zero, and Brownsville TX with a reading of
38 degrees.
In 1990 A surge of arctic air kept temperatures in the teens
and 20s during the day in the north central U.S.,
and heavy snow fell over parts of Montana. Record
warmth was reported in the western U.S., and in Alaska.
Phoenix AZ reported a record high of 94 degrees, and
the town of Barrow, located along the arctic coast of
Alaska, reported a record high of 20 degrees.
In 2004 Strong thunderstorms across Maui and the big island of
Hawaii, caused heavy rain...with storm totals as high
as 9 inches.
In 2013 (22nd-25th) Another in a series of late winter/early
early spring storms moved across the country...bringing
heavy snow from Colorado and Kansas east into Missouri,
with warnings as far east as Ohio and Pennsylvania; and
strong to severe storms with large hail and flooding rain
from Oklahoma and Texas, eastward through Arkansas, and
along the Gulf Coast to the southeast US. Whiteout
conditions prompted authorities to close 154 miles of
Interstate 70 from Denver to the Kansas line. About 45
45 miles north of Denver, Interstate 25 was shut down,
due to a weather related incident that led to as many as
50 vehicles crashing, or spinning off the roadway. Flames
also engulfed a semi-taknker caught in the pile-up.
