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 1816 The growing season for corn was cut short as damaging
frosts were reported from North Carolina to interior New
England.
In 1923 The temperature at Anchorage AK reached 82 degrees,
a record for August for the location which was later tied
on the 2nd in 1978.
In 1987 A cold front lowered temperatures 20 to 40 degrees across
the north central U.S., and produced severe thunderstorms
in Ohio and Lower Michigan. An early morning
thunderstorm near Sydney MI produced high winds which
spun a car around 180 degrees.
In 1988 Afternoon highs of 88 degrees at Astoria OR and 104 at
Medford OR were records for the date, and the number of
daily record highs across the nation since the first of
June topped the 2000 mark.
In 1989 Evening thunderstorms in the central U.S. produced golf
ball size hail at May City IA, and wind gusts to 66 mph
at Balltown IA. Lightning struck a barn in Fayette
County IA killing 750 hogs. Evening thunderstorms
in Montana produced wind gusts to 70 mph at Havre.
In 1999 Hurricane Bret, which went from a category 1 to a
category 4 hurricane in under 12 hours, slammed into
the south Texas coast near Baffin Bay, with 140 mph
winds, a 15 foot storm surge, and rainfall totals of
over 30 inches in some areas. Corpus Christi, north of
Bret...and Brownsville, south of Bret...missed the full
force of the storm, but still had heavy rain and wind.
