 This is the 183rd day of the year, there are 183 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 1792 A tremendous storm (a tornado or hurricane) hit
            Philadelphia and New York City.  Many young people were
            drowned while out boating on that Sunday.
    In 1911 The high of just 79 degrees at Phoenix AZ was their
            coolest daily maximum of record for the month of July.
            The normal daily high for July 1st is 105 degrees.
    In 1979 It snowed almost half a foot (5.8 inches) at Stampede
            Pass Washington, a July record. 
    In 1987 Lake Charles LA was drenched with a month's worth of rain
            during the early morning.  More than five inches of rain
            soaked the city, including 2.68 inches in one hour.  A
            thunderstorm in the southern Yakima Valley of Washington
            State produced high winds which downed trees up to six
            feet in diameter.
    In 1988 Twenty-six cities in the north central and northeastern
            U.S. reported record low temperatures for the date.  Lows
            of 48 at Providence RI, 48 at Roanoke VA, 49 at Stratford
            CT, and 48 at Wilmington DE, were records for July.
            Boston MA equalled their record for July with a low of 50
            degrees.  Five inches of snow whitened Mount Washington NH.
    In 1989 Showers and thunderstorms associated with the low
            pressure system which was once Tropical Storm Allison
            continued to drench parts of Mississippi, Louisiana
            and eastern Texas.  Late night thunderstorms produced
            12.58 inches of rain at Biloxi MS in six hours, and 10.73
            inches at Gulfport MS.  Flooding in Mississippi over the
            first six days of the month caused 55 million dollars
            damage.
    In 1989 A tornado in Victoria, Australia, tracked 43 miles of
            destruction, even burying some birds head first into the
            ground.
    In 2002 An upper level low brought heavy rains and flash flooding
            to Texas and adjacent states. The San Antonio, Texas area
            was especially hard hit, with 9 inches of rain falling in
            30 hours...6 inches of that in 3 hours. Two died with the
            flooding, with over 100 people being evacuated or rescued
            by emergency personnel. (1st-2nd).
