Today is Thursday September 14, 2017.
This is the 257th day of the year, there are 108 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 1937 The mercury soared to 92 degrees at Seattle WA, a record
for September.
In 1944 A very destructive hurricane swept across Cape Hatteras
and Chesapeake Bay, side swiped New Jersey and Long
Island, and crossed southeastern Massachusetts. The
hurricane killed more than 400 persons, mainly at sea.
The hurricane destroyed the Atlantic City NJ boardwalk.
In 1970 The temperature at Fremont OR dipped to 2 above zero to
equal the state record for September set on the 24th in
1926.
In 1987 Barrow AK received 5.1 inches of snow, a record for
September. Thunderstorms developing along a cold front
produced severe weather from Minnesota to Texas.
Thunderstorms in Iowa produced baseball size hail at
Laporte City, and 80 mph winds at Laurens. Hail caused
more than ten million dollars damage to crops in Iowa.
Thunderstorms in Missouri produced wind gusts to 75 mph
at Missouri City and Kansas City. A thunderstorm in
Texas deluged the town of Fairlie with two inches of rain
in just two hours.
In 1988 Hurricane Gilbert made the first of its two landfalls on
Mexico, producing 170 mph winds at Cozumel. Thunderstorms
produced severe weather over the Texas panhandle during the
evening hours. One thunderstorm spawned a (F-2) tornado in
the southwest part of Amarillo, and deluged the area with
five inches of rain. The heavy rain left roads under as much
as five feet of water, and left Lawrence Lake a mile out of
its banks. Hurricane Gilbert lost some of its punch crossing
the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Its maximum winds
diminished to 120 mph.
In 1989 Unseasonably cool weather prevailed across the south
central U.S. Eight cities reported record low tempera-
tures for the date, including Raton NM with a reading of
30 degrees. The afternoon high of 59 degrees at Topeka
KS marked their third straight record cool maximum
temperature. Unseasonably warm weather continued in the
Pacific Northwest. Seattle WA reported a record eight
days in a row of 80 degree weather in September.
In 2014 (14th-16th) Hurricane Odile slammed into the Baja
Peninsula as a Category 3 hurricane...tied with Hurricane
Olivia as the strongest hurricane to hit that area...the
last time that happened was in 1967.
