This is the 262nd day of the year, there are 103 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 1947 The eye of a hurricane passed directly over New Orleans,
           and the barometric pressure dipped to 28.61 inches.  The
           hurricane killed 51 persons, and caused 110 million
           dollars damage.  It produced wind gusts to 155 mph while
           making landfall over Fort Lauderdale FL two days earlier.
   In 1967 Hurricane Beulah deluged Brownsville TX with 12.19 inches
           of rain in 24 hours, to establish a record for that
           location.  Hurricane Beulah made landfall on the 20th
           near the mouth of the Rio Grande River, where a wind gust
           to 135 mph was reported by a ship in the port. (19th-20th)
           Beulah also spawned a total of 115 tornadoes, the most
           ever from a tropical system.
   In 1987 Cool autumn-like weather invaded the Central Rockies.
           Temperatures dipped into the 30s and 40s, with teens and
           20s reported in the higher elevations.  Gunnison CO was
           the cold spot in the nation with a morning low of 15
           degrees.
   In 1988 Thunderstorms developing along a fast moving cold front
           produced severe weather in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana
           and Michigan.  Eight tornadoes were reported, including
           five in Indiana.  Thunderstorm winds gusted to 74 mph at
           Wabash IN.  Winds associated with the cold front itself
           gusted to 69 mph at Kenosha WI.
   In 1989 Showers and thunderstorms produced heavy rain in
           the Middle and Northern Atlantic Coast Region.  Cape
           Hatteras NC was deluged with nearly 3.50 inches of rain
           in three hours.  Syracuse NY reported 1.77 inches of
           rain, a record for the date, and Chatham NJ reported
           an all-time record of 3.45 inches in one day. Hurricane
           Hugo headed for the Bahamas, and Tropical Storm Iris,
           following close on its heels, strengthened to near
           hurricane force.
   In 1999 Tropical Storm Harvey formed in the Gulf of Mexico, and took
           an unexpected southeast turn toward Naples, Florida; before
           crossing south Florida, and being absorbed by a cold front
           near the Bahamas on the 22nd.
