The tornado traveled through Poughkeepsie then crossed the border into Connecticut where it went through the towns of New Milford, Waterbury, North Haven, and Branford. It then continued into Long Island Sound. The tornado did extensive damage, and the funnel was reported by one observer to look like the "aurora borealis." 1835 - A tornado tore through the center of New Brunswick NJ killing five persons and scattering debris as far as Manhattan Island. The tornado provided the first opportunity for scientists to study firsthand the track of such a storm. (David Ludlum) 1938 - A cloudburst near Custer Creek, MT, (near Miles City) caused a train wreck killing forty-eight persons. An estimated four to seven inches of rain deluged the head of the creek that evening, and water flowing through the creek weakened the bridge. As a result, a locomotive and seven passenger cars plunged into the swollen creek. One car, a tourist sleeper, was completely submerged. (David Ludlum) 1972 - Hurricane Agnes moved onshore near Cape San Blas FL with wind gusts to 80 mph, and exited Maine on the 26th. There were 117 deaths, mainly due to flooding from North Carolina to New York State, and total damage was estimated at more than three billion dollars. Up to 19 inches of rain deluged western Schuylkill County PA. The rains of Hurricane Agnes resulted in one of the greatest natural disasters in U.S. history. Agnes caused more damage than all other tropical cyclones in the previous six years combined (which included Celia and Camille). (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) 1987 - It was a warm June day, with plenty of thunderstorms east of the Rockies. Lightning knocked out power at Throckmorton, TX, and ignited an oil tank battery. A woman in Knox City TX was struck by lightning while in her car, and a man was struck by lightning near his home in Manatee County FL. Strong thunderstorm winds overturned several outhouses near Bixby OK, but no injuries were reported. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Temperatures soared above 100 degrees in the central U.S. for Father's Day. Fifteen cities reported record high temperatures for the date. Severe thunderstorms in Minnesota and Wisconsin produced softball size hail near River Falls WI, and wind gusts to 80 mph at Menomonie WI. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1989 - Fourteen cities reported record high temperatures for the date as searing heat spread from the southwestern deserts into the High Plains Region. Record highs included 98 degrees at Billings, MT, 107 degrees at Valentine, NE, and 112 degrees at Tucson, AZ. (The National Weather Summary) 1990 - What would eventually be known as the "Inland Hurricane" stuck south central Kansas. This storm system produced a swath of 65 to 120 mph winds across six counties and caused $80 million dollars in damage. The peak recorded wind gust was 116 mph, which reaches low-end category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind intensity scale. On the enhanced Fujita Scale the 116mph winds would be rated an EF2. The storm knocked out power to all the Wichita TV stations, and they were off the air for hours. All but one of the Wichita Radio Stations, including the Wichita NOAA Weather Radio Station KEC-59, was knocked off the air. (National Weather Service Wichita) 2006 - Up to 11 inches of rain fell in the Houston, Texas area, causing widespread flash flooding. The Houston Fire Department rescued more than 500 people from flood waters, but no serious injuries or fatalities were reported.

A bit more haze and clouds than yesterday Wind: 209° (SSW)

73/ 67 and a but hazy. More low - mid 90s (more west) as we have a southerly / SSE component to the wind and SE at times. Flow comes more around SSW Fri and the weekend with mid / upper 90s possible. 850 mb temps surge Sun ahead of the front, which with enough sun could yield the hotter/hottest day. Can alreday see clouds on the periphery of the ridge into Ohio. Storms Fri pm and throughout Sat - clouds could get in the way of continuing the heatwave Sat, but enough sun would extend it for those west of the hudson. A brief cooldown Mon (6/24) - Tue (6/5) with a return to overall warmer by Wed. Overall above normal with some heat mixed in - Euro going hotter so grain of salt says continued with the theme of +3 - +6 for now up and through the end of the next week and the month.

74 / 65 SSW slowly crawling around more to an onshore component as the ridge center builds over MD/NJ. Flow is aiming similar boatloads of rain into TX that southrn Fl had last week. Warmer spots to 90 (again) others near 90. Tomorrow is the strongest onshore flow so coastal and eastern / south coasts cooler/ inland sizzle. Thu/Fri flow more sw with the hottest temps of the week. Storms /clouds could keep it below 90 on Sat. Sun interestingly with enough clearing could be the hottest day of the period. Continues hot Mon. Cooler as trough swings through 6/27 - 6/30. Beyond there looks more warm/humid.

80/63 now

73/59 and the hotter period commences as the ridge builds in. Warmer spots start a heatwave today, most others tomorrow. Easterly flow around center of the strong/record ridge keeps the area on the fringe of the record heat Tue/Wed with most highs low to mid 90s coastal/metro areas but increased DT's keep it feeling oppressive. Flow comes around more SW by Thu and 850 MB temps 19c - 22C should allow near record or record challenging highs mid upper 90s in the warmer spots. First shot at showers/storms as weak front nudges down the ridge Fri night (6/21) and Sat (6/22), but still hot. GFS has closed low near GA/SC which could be of interest if stuck or caught undercutting ridge late week. Stronger push of heat Sun (6/23) and Mon (6/24) ahead of the stronger front and trough push more high heat and humidity. Brief reprieve from the heat before ridging builds back later in the month.

Dewpoint temps rising to 61, still cool/comfortable 65/61

Add 3 for LGA and 5-6 for EWR/New Brnswck areas. This next weekend, pending on clouds will be as hot
