Today is Saturday June 11, 2016.
This is the 163rd day of the year, there are 203 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 1842 A late season snowstorm struck New England. Snow fell
during the morning and early afternoon, accumulating to
a depth of 10 to 12 inches at Irasburg VT. Berlin NH was
blanketed with eleven inches of snow during the day.
Snow whitened the higher peaks of the Appalachians as far
south as Maryland.
In 1877 The temperature at Los Angeles CA reached 112 degrees
during a heatwave. It would have been the all-time
record for Los Angeles, but official records did not
begin until twenty days later.
In 1972 Heavy showers brought 1.64 inches of rain to Phoenix AZ,
a record for the month of June.
In 1984 A 160 mph downburst blew a home near Rowena, South Dakota,
totally off its foundation, and scattered debris for several
miles.
In 1987 South Texas endured another day of torrential rains. Up
to 12 inches of rain drenched Harris County, and nearly
ten inches soaked Luce Bayou, mainly during the afternoon
hours. Thunderstorm rains left seven feet of water over
Highway 189 in northern Val Verde County. Flooding
caused nine million dollars damage in Real County. A
thunderstorm at Perryton TX produced golf ball size hail
and 70 mph winds, and spawned a tornado which struck a
mobile home, killing one person and injuring the other four
occupants.
In 1988 Thirty cities in the central and eastern U.S. reported
record low temperatures for the date, including El Dorado
AR with a reading of 48 degrees. Canaan Valley WV and
Thomas WV dipped to 30 degrees. Flagstaff AZ was the
cold spot in the nation with a low of 30 degrees.
Coolidge, just 180 miles away, was the hot spot with a
high of 105 degrees.
In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the south
central and southeastern U.S. during the day and night.
Thunderstorms spawned eleven tornadoes, including one
which tore the roof off a restaurant at Bee Branch AR
injuring six persons. The tornado tossed a car into the
restaurant, and another car over it. Temperatures soared
into the 90s across much of Florida. Lakeland reported
a record high of 99 degrees for the second day in a row.
In 1999 A supercell thunderstorm that traveled from near Denver
to Colorado Springs, Colorado before splitting into two
cells and then weakening...spawned a huge hailstorm that
dropped hail up to 2 1/2 inches in diameter from 8-12
inches deep in many areas, damaging several buildings. The
aerial view from the area looked like it had snowed!!
