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 1870 The first storm warning was issued by the U.S. Signal
Corps Weather Service.
In 1943 An early season snowstorm raged across eastern South
Dakota and Minnesota into northern Wisconsin. The storm
produced 22 inches of snow at Fairbult and Marshall MN,
20 inches at Redwood Falls MN, and 10.1 inches at
Minneapolis. Drifts fifteen feet high were reported in
Cottonwood County MN. The storm produced up to two feet
of snow in South Dakota, smothering a million Thanksgiving
Day turkeys. (6th-8th)
In 1953 Residents of New York City suffered through ten days of
smog, resulting in 200 deaths.
In 1966 The temperature in downtown San Francisco reached a
November record of 86 degrees.
In 1987 Thunderstorms over Texas produced locally heavy rains in
the Hill Country, with 3.50 inches reported at Lakeway,
and 3.72 inches reported at Anderson Mill. Thunderstorms
over Louisiana produced hail an inch in diameter at Clay
and at Provencial. Blustery northwest winds, ushering
cold air into western Kansas and into northwest Texas,
gusted to 46 mph at Hill City KS.
In 1988 Fair weather prevailed across much of the nation for
Election Day. Midland TX equalled their record for
November with an afternoon high of 89 degrees, and the
record high of 87 degrees at Roswell NM was their fifth
in eight days.
In 1989 Afternoon and evening thunderstorms developing along and
ahead of a cold front produced severe weather from
northern Louisiana into central Georgia. Thunderstorms
spawned three tornadoes, and there were sixty-four
reports of large hail or damaging winds. A late
afternoon thunderstorm in central Georgia spawned
a tornado which killed one person and injured eight
others at Pineview. Late afternoon thunderstorms in
central Mississippi produced baseball size hail around
Jackson, and wind gusts to 70 mph at Walnut Grove.
In 2013 Super Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest tropical
cyclones ever observed, made landfall in the Philippines.
It's estimated it had sustained winds of 195 mph, and
gusts to 235 mph at landfall...the equivalent of an
intense category 5 hurricane. The storm was so large in
diameter, that clouds from it were affecting two-thirds
of the country, which extended over 1150 miles. Over
10,000 perished in the storm.
