 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 1816 A famous June snow occurred in the northeastern U.S.
            Danville VT reported drifts of snow and sleet twenty
            inches deep.  The Highlands were white all day, and
            flurries were observed as far south as Boston MA.
    In 1972 Richmond VA experienced its worst flood of record as
            rains from Hurricane Agnes pushed the water level at the
            city locks to a height of 36.5 feet, easily topping the
            previous record of thirty feet set in 1771.
    In 1987 Thunderstorms in the Laramie Mountains of eastern Wyoming
            produced golf ball size hail, and up to five inches of
            rain, in just one hour.  Half a dozen cities in the Upper
            Mississippi Valley reported record high temperatures for
            the date, including La Crosse WI with a reading of 97
            degrees.
    In 1988 Snow whitened some of the mountains of northern
            California and northwestern Nevada.  Twenty-six cities in
            the central and eastern U.S. reported record high
            temperatures for the date, including Rapid City SD with
            a reading of 104 degrees, and Miles City MT with a high
            of 106 degrees.
    In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather from southern
            Oklahoma and eastern Texas to northwestern Florida
            through the day and night.  Thunderstorms spawned
            22 tornadoes, including a dozen in Louisiana, and there
            were 119 reports of large hail and damaging winds.  A (F-2)
            tornado at Gross Tete LA killed two persons, injured
            thirty others, and another (F-2) tornado injured 60
            persons at Lobdell LA.  Softball size hail was reported
            at Hillsboro TX.
    In 1989 A DC-8 crashed into the jungle attempting to land in a thick
            fog shrouding the Paramaribo (Suriname) airport.
    In 2003 An unsettled weather pattern that began over Arkansas on
            7th continued for several days afterwards. On the 10th,
            severe thunderstorms with hail, high winds, heavy rain,
            and intense lightning plagued much of Arkansas. A house
            in west Little Rock was damaged by a lightning strike.
            On the 11th, much of the southern half of Arkansas was
            hit again by severe weather, and flooding rains. Some
            areas got from 3 to 10 inches of rain overnight, with
            washed out roads and widespread flash flooding the
            result.
    In 2021 (7th-10th) Ten to more than 15 inches of rain fell across
            portions of southeast Arkansas in just 48 hours. Widespread
            flooding (much of it catastrophic) occurred in Star City,
            Varner, Pine Bluff, Stuttgart, Dumas, and McGehee. Water
            got into many homes, with crop and road damage (washouts)
            in several areas. Also on June 7, several thunderstorms
            showed rotation from Malvern to Arkadelphia, but there
            were no apparent tornado touchdowns. A brief EF-0 tornado
            occurred in a field at Blakemore in Lonoke County on the
            9th, with another small tornado near Ferda in Jefferson
            County, and Little Rock got a quick 1.10 inches of rain.
            On the 10th, near Pinnacle, west-northwest of Little Rock,
            3 inches of rain fell in just under an hour.
