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 severe hailstorm over parts of Antelope and Boone
           counties in Nebraska stripped trees of bark and foliage,
           ruined roofs, and broke nearly every window facing north.
   In 1946 The temperature at Medford OR soared to an all-time high
           of 115 degrees to begin a two week heat wave.  During
           that Oregon heat wave the mercury hit 100 degrees at
           Sexton Summit for the only time in forty years of records.
   In 1975 An early afternoon thunderstorm raked the east side of
           Tucson AZ with gale force winds, heavy rain, and numerous
           lightning strikes.  A thirteen year old boy was swept
           through a forty foot long culvert by raging waters before
           being rescued.
   In 1987 Showers and thundestorms in the southwestern U.S. ended
           a record string of thirty-nine consecutive days of
           100 degree heat at Tucson AZ.  A thunderstorm at Bullhead
           City AZ produced wind gusts to 70 mph reducing the
           visibility to near zero in blowing dust.  Southerly winds
           gusting to 40 mph pushed temperature readings above
           100 degrees in the Northern Plains.  Rapid City SD
           reported a record high of 106 degrees, following a record
           low of 39 degrees just three days earlier.
   In 1988 Thirty-seven cities in the eastern U.S. reported
           record high temperatures for the date.  Highs of 96 at
           Bluefield WV and 104 at Charleston WV were all-time
           records, and highs of 98 at Binghamton NY, 99 at Elkins
           WV, and 103 at Pittsburgh PA, tied all-time records.
           Highs of 104 at Baltimore MD and 105 at Parkersburg WV
           were records for July, and Beckley WV equalled their
           record for July with a high of 94 degrees.  Martinsburg
           WV was the hot spot in the nation with a reading of
           107 degrees.  Afternoon and evening thunderstorms raked
           the northeastern U.S. with large hail and damaging winds.
   In 1989 Showers and thunderstorms developing along a stationary
           front drenched the Middle Atlantic Coast States with
           heavy rain, causing flooding in some areas.  More than
           five inches of rain was reported near Madison VA and
           Ferncliff VA.  Hot weather prevailed in Texas.
           San Angelo reported a record high of 106 degrees.
   In 2009 A large complex of thunderstorms produced widespread
           hail, flooding, strong winds, lightning damage, and power
           outages, as it tracked across west and south Arkansas.
