In 1821 A hurricane made landfall at Long Island, near Kennedy
Airport, then moved through western Connecticut. The
hurricane produced a record tide at New York City.
In 1953 The temperature at Erie PA reached 99 degrees,
and Stroudsburg PA established a state record
for September with a reading of 106 degrees.
In 1961 Denver CO received 4.2 inches of snow, their earliest
snow of record.
In 1967 100+ mph winds drove golfball size hail across the Texas
Panhandle. One stone was 11" in circumference.
In 1970 During the early evening hours, in the midst of a severe
hailstorm at Coffeyville KS, a stone 17.5 inches in
circumference and nearly two pounds in weight was
recovered. It was the largest measured hailstone in U.S.
weather records. Average stone size from the storm was
five inches in diameter, with another stone reportedly
eight inches in diameter.
In 1987 Temperatures dipped into the 40s and 50s for morning lows
across much of the eastern half of the country, with
eleven cities reporting record lows for the date.
Pellston MI tied Gunnison CO for honors as the cold spot
in the nation with a low of 30 degrees. Smoke from
forest fires darkened skies in southern Oregon
and northern California.
In 1988 Sixteen cities in the northwestern U.S. reported record
high temperatures for the date. Highs of 89 degrees
at Stampede Pass WA and 116 at Redding CA established
records for the month of September. Readings of 98 at
Spokane WA and 100 at Yakima WA equalled records for
September.
In 1989 Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front produced
severe weather from Minnesota to Nebraska during the day
and evening. Evening thunderstorms in Nebraska produced
wind gusts to 100 mph at Valentine and Gretna, and
produced baseball size hail at Lewellen. Thunderstorms
in Arizona produced 2.20 inches of rain in forty minutes
at Green Valley, and wind gusts to 60 mph. Eight cities
in Texas and Florida reported record high temperatures
for the date, including Victoria TX and San Antonio TX
with readings of 102 degrees.
