(The Weather Channel) 1928 - A farmer near Greensburg, KS, looked up into the heart of a tornado. He described its walls as rotating clouds lit with constant flashes of lightning and a strong gassy odor with a screaming, hissing sound . (The Weather Channel) 1964 - A squall line producing large hail swept through central Illinois. A second squall line moved through during the early morning hours of the 21st, and a third one moved through shortly after dawn. The series of hailstorms caused nine million dollars damage. Hailstones as large as grapefruit caused heavy damage to trees, utility lines, crops and buildings. The thunderstorms also produced as much as five inches of rain in an eight hour period. (David Ludlum) 1987 - Thunderstorms prevailed east of the Rockies, producing severe weather in the Central High Plains Region. Thunderstorms spawned four tornadoes in Colorado, and produced wind gusts to 70 mph at Goodland, KS. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Thirty-eight cities in the central U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date. Afternoon highs of 97 degrees at Flint, MI, and 104 degrees at Chicago, IL, equalled records for the month of June. Thunderstorms in North Dakota produced baseball size hail near Kief, and wind gusts to 100 mph near McGregor. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - An early morning thunderstorm produced wind gusts to 61 mph at Pierre, SD, and the hot thunderstorm winds raised the temperature from 86 degrees at midnight to 96 degrees by 1 AM, and 104 degrees by 2 AM. Butte, MT, and Yellowstone Park, WY, reported snow that afternoon. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1989:A meteorological "hot flash" hit Pierre. Descending air from collapsing thunderstorms caused the temperature in Pierre to warm from 86 degrees at midnight to 96 at one a.m. and to 104 at 2 a.m. Pierre's record high for the date of 105 degrees in 1974. 2001: Large hail driven by strong thunderstorm winds raked Denver International and front-range airports. Wind gusting to 54 mph along with hail as large as 2 inches in diameter punched at least 14 thousand holes and cracks in the flat roofs of several buildings at Denver International Airport. Also, 93 planes and hundreds of cars were damaged. About 100 flights had to be canceled stranding 1500 travelers. The Airport was completely shut down for about 20 minutes. The storm also damaged ground avoidance radar used to track planes on the ground to prevent collisions. Damage was estimated at 10 million dollars not counting the cost to the 93 airliners. The storm moved south and struck Watkins Colorado with hail as large as 2 1/2 inches in diameter and winds gusting to 60 mph.

Up to 94 here DT 67. Wind; 266° (W) - hence the hotter readings everywhere today.

1PM ROund up EWR: 94 LGA: 92 (first of the season) TEB: 92 ACY: 89 BLM: 89 New Brnswck: 89 NYC: 88 TTN: 88 PHL: 86 ISP: 82 JFK: 82 https://synoptic.envsci.rutgers.edu/img/vis_nj_anim.gif

Think there are two possibilities to end the heat wave there and other parts of NJ - Sat (clouds / showers) if not then there is a sharp cooldown between 27-30th that should push temps back into the 80s before ridge rebuilds.

86 / 66 Wind: 239° (WSW)

Tropical wave to crash into NE-FL this Fri into the weekend, probaly wont have enough time to organize (be named)

Late month trough 6/28 - 6/30 with ridging building behind. CMC the warmest

80 / 66 and off to a faster launch pad. Flow still with an around the ridge onshore component keeping those east and coastal on the fringe of theirr first / elusive 90s, but think some will get there, otherwise for inland places day 3 or 4 (the warmest spits). Only clouds and showers could break the heat streak Sat but looking very warm. Mid - upper 90s today/ tomorrow, recent dryness and full sun could push near records highs on Sun as the > 20C 850mb come in on a strong SW flow ahead of the trough pushing front through Sun PM. Mon in between day but still warm upper 80s to 90s. A warmer push Tue (6/25) before a trough pushes through another front and cooler air breaks the heat by Wed (6/26) / Thu (6/28). A brief cooldown before warmer returns as ridging builds east. Looks more warm - humid so we'll see if its more stormy. Hot ; 6/17 - 6/27 Cooler : 6/28 - 6/30 Warmer - humid (hot) : beyond.

Beyond this ridging is forcest to build bac east, perhaps a more warm-humd flow (storm?)

Seemed to be a May / Jun tendency the last few seasons. Was it May of 21 or 22 where the heat went over the top and recently in Jun.

Snow west MT/WY

Records: Highs: EWR: 102 (1994) NYC: 98 (1994) LGA: 97 (1994) JFK: 98 (1994) Lows: EWR: 53 (1954) NYC: 52 (1920) LGA: 56 (2022) JFK: 54 (1965) Historical: 1794: A violent tornado commenced west of the Hudson River in New York. 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.
