The main highlight associated with the hurricane was a tornado that damaged downtown Charleston. 1919 - A hurricane struck the Florida Keys drowning more than 500 persons. (David Ludlum) 1960 - Hurricane Donna struck the Florida Keys, with winds gusting to 180 mph and a thirteen foot storm surge. The hurricane then moved north along the eastern coast of Florida and inundated Naples before moving out to sea. Hurricane Donna claimed fifty lives, injured 1800 others, and caused more than 300 million dollars damage. The Marathon/Tavernier area was almost completely destroyed, and in the Citrus Belt, most of the avacado crop was blown from the trees. Hurricane Donna wreaked havoc from Florida to Maine, with wind gusts to 100 mph along much of the coast. Hurricane Donna produced wind gusts to 121 mph at Charleston SC on the 11th, and wind gusts to 138 mph at Blue Hill Observatory MA on the 12th. The hurricane finally died over Maine two days later, producing more than five inches of rain over the state. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) 1960: The center of Hurricane Donna passed over the middle of the Florida Keys between 2, and 3 am on this day. Donna was a Category 5 hurricane over the Atlantic and a Category 4 at landfall. This storm caused the deaths of over 100 in Puerto Rico, 50 in the United States, and 63 in a jet crash. The plane crash occurred on August 29th as a French airliner was attempting to land at Dakar, Senegal during a “blinding rainstorm.” The storm was likely a tropical disturbance at the time of the crash. 1961: On September 10th, the Television Infrared Observation Satellite observed an area of thunderstorms west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands, suggesting a possible tropical cyclone. This storm is the first large tropical cyclone to be discovered on satellite imagery and would eventually become Hurricane Esther. 1987 - A late afternoon thunderstorm roared through Austin TX producing wind gusts to 81 mph, and 2.17 inches of rain in just sixty minutes. The high winds toppled six National Guard helicopters at the Robert Mueller Municipal Airport, and damaged or destroyed numerous other aircraft. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1988 - Cool air sweeping into the north central U.S. brought snow to some of the higher elevations of Montana. The town of Kings Hill, southeast of Great Falls, was blanketed with six inches of snow. Tropical Storm Gilbert strenghtened to a hurricane over the eastern Carribean. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1989 - Light snow fell in Montana overnight, with three inches reported at Fairfield. Billings MT reported a record low of 33 degrees. Unseasonably warm weather prevailed in the northeastern U.S., with record highs of 86 degrees at Caribou ME and 90 degrees at Burlington VT. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1998: Tropical Storm Frances made landfall near Matagorda Bay, TX, causing the worst coastal flooding and beach erosion since Hurricane Carla in 1961. The storm's heavy rains ended a drought in East Texas but caused severe river flooding in parts of Texas and Louisiana. The highest rainfall total noted was 21.10 inches at Terrytown in southeast Louisiana. A major disaster declaration was issued for Cameron, Jefferson, Lafourche, and Terrebonne parishes in Louisiana. 2017: Hurricane Irma crossed the Florida Keys as a Category 4 storm.

    Trough west / ridge NE the areas underneath hung up and its either long stretch of very nice / warm or wet
  4. SACRUS
    Its been a clear trend for a while any dry pattern will reverse and in most cases a big way. Its a matter of time these hung up patters can go from dry to very wet when things dont move and slow down.

    63 / 48 and clear off a low of 52. On the way back to what should tally 7 days above normal and overall dry with highs mainly low - mid 80s and upper 80s to near 90 the peak with a more SW / NW flow this weekend in the warmer spots. Ridge over the top - stuck up pattern that needs that laxative. Francine meanders over the central states, cut off ULL near the southeast. This could go from very pleasant later summer/ dry to a few days (Debby like) of rains - will need to watch. Overall warm and continued warm once past the cut off low next week/weekend. 9/10 - 9/16 : Warm / dry 9/17 - 9/20 : watch potential remnants of Francine / cut off low form the SE running north into the area beyond : overall warm to very warm

The Baton Rouge weather bureau operated under auxiliary power, without telephone communication. 1971 - Hurricane Ginger formed, and remained a hurricane until the 5th of October. The 27 day life span was the longest of record for any hurricane in the North Atlantic Ocean. (The Weather Channel) 1987 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the central U.S. Thunderstorms in West Texas spawned four tornadoes in the vicinity of Lubbock, and produced baseball size hail and wind gusts to 81 mph at Ropesville. Thunderstorms produced hail two inches in diameter at Downs KS and Harvard NE, breaking car windows at Harvard. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Florence became a hurricane and headed for the Central Gulf Coast Region. Florence made landfall early the next morning, passing over New Orleans LA. Winds gusts to 80 mph were recorded at an oil rig south of the Chandeleur Islands.

(Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - The first snow of the season began to whiten the mountains of Wyoming early in the morning, as for two days a moist and unusually cold storm system affected the state. By the morning of the 11th, a foot of snow covered the ground at Burgess Junction. Thunderstorms developing along a cold front crossing the Ohio Valley produced severe weather in Indiana during the late afternoon and early evening hours. Strong thunderstorm winds blew down a tent at Palestine injuring seven persons, and frequent lightning interrupted the Purdue and Miami of Ohio football game, clearing the stands.

    64 / 44 off a low of 43. Cool behind and warmup on the way. Ridging north and into the east - overall warm to very warm. Over north ridge proves an onshore component keeping heat west with mid 80s but some of the warmer spots could push 90 as we near the end of the week and next. The pattern is blocked up and needs a laxative with big ridge into the north and Francines remnants meandering arounf the south and central US and potential cut off ULL int he southeast. Dry as the ridge holds east but need to watch going from dry to a Debby like stalled remnant or cut off low. Interesting next 1 - 2 weeks but solidly warm, overall.

    Have to watch cut off ULL along the east coast like the euro showed as next opportunity for rains in the 9/14 period. If it wasnt for the August wet period / deluge from some in the fist half, we'd be extremely dry
  21. SACRUS
    Trough west ridge east with the Eur ridge axis more north and allows a weakeness to cut off 14 - 17 period which could bring some consistent rains and potential tropical influence in that period. GFS warmer throughout.

    68/ 65 clouds and some light rain and scattered showers. Trough and susbequent front moving through today. Dries out and cools off Sunday with low 70s. Warming next week by Tue mainly low - mid 80s, perhaps upper 80s in the warmer spots Wed/Thu. Overall warmer into and beyond mid month. Ridge builds north and onshore component will limit heat (90s). Euro has a cut off low undercutting the ridge by the start of the following week 15th with stalled out low along the SE and MA coasts.

    Clouds clinging to the area. Had a feeling the recent mostly sunny then the becoming sunny forecasts were in trouble today
  25. SACRUS
    64 / 59 cloudy with some marine layer. More humid. Sun should break through later this morning. Warmer today upper 70s to low 80s. Clouds back tomorrow as trough pishes front through with showers and rain - the heaviest (not much) will be in northern areas. Sunday much cooler behind the front before a pronounces warmup 9/8 through next week.
