This is the 148th day of the year, there are 217 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 1942 The latest snowstorm of record for the state of Iowa left 10 inches at LeMars, 8 inches at Cherokee, and 7.5 inches at Waukon. Afternoon highs were in the lower 30s in parts of northwestern Iowa. In 1947 A storm produced heavy snow across Wisconsin, with ten inches reported at Gay Mills. The snow damaged fruit and other trees, and downed power lines. The storm was followed by the coldest weather of the month for much of the High Plains Region and Missouri Valley. Williston ND reported a low of 21 degrees the morning of the 28th, and the next morning Cheyenne WY reported a morning low of 16 above zero. In 1987 Thunderstorms produced torrential rains in Oklahoma and northern Texas. Lake Altus OK was deluged with nine inches of rain. Up to eight inches drenched northern Texas, and baseball size hail was reported north of Seminole and at Knickerbocker. Ten to 13 inch rains soaked central Oklahoma the last five days of May resulting in an estimated 65 million dollars damage, and forcing several thousand persons to evacuate their homes, many by boat or helicopter. In 1988 A sharp cold front began to usher cold, wet and windy weather into the western U.S. Thunderstorms in the Great Plains Region produced wind gusts to 80 mph near Brokkings SD. In 1989 Unseasonably hot weather continued in Florida. Five cities reported record high temperatures for the date. The record high of 98 degrees at Lakeland FL was their fifth in a row. Thunderstorms produced severe weather in Florida late in the day, with golf ball size hail reported at Kissimmee. In 1990 Two to five inches of rain over southeastern Ohio on the 28th and 29th capped an exceptionally wet month of May, and triggered widespread flooding. Flooding which resulted claimed three lives, and caused millions of dollars damage. Numerous roads in southeastern Ohio were flooded and impassable, and many other roads were blocked by landslides. In 2001 A tornado struck three mobile home parks in Elicott, CO... east of Colorado Springs...several injuries and extensive damage resulted. In 2012 Tropical Storm Beryl came ashore near Jacksonville Beach, Florida with 70 mph winds...making it the strongest pre-June tropical cyclone to make a U.S. landfall. In 2013 (28th-June 2nd) Several days of severe weather occurred across much of the U.S. Stretching from Texas to the Upper Midwest...east into the Ohio Valley and New England...many areas experienced severe storms with tornadoes, large hail, damaging wind, and flooding rain. The storms started on May 28, and lasted into early June. --- * Synchronet * The Thunderbolt BBS - Little Rock, Arkansas * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105) .
