Historical: 

1891 - The mercury hit 109 degrees at Los Angeles, CA, marking the peak of a torrid heat wave. (David Ludlum)

1936: Lincoln, Nebraska saw an all-time high temperature of 115 degrees. The low only dropped to 91 degrees and the average temperature was 103. Many people spent the night sleeping outside to escape the heat. 

1956 - The Andrea Doria sank in dense fog near Nantucket Lightship, MA. The ship was rammed by the Swedish-American liner, Stockholm, forty-five miles off the coast of Massachusetts. Fifty-two persons drowned, or were killed by the impact. (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel)

1986 - Tremendous hailstones pounded parts of South Dakota damaging crops, buildings and vehicles. Hail piled two feet deep at Black Hawk and northern Rapid City. Hail an inch and a quarter in diameter fell for 85 minutes near Miller and Huron, piling up to depths of two feet. (The Weather Channel)

1987 - Sixteen cities in the eastern U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date. Beckley, WV, equalled their all-time record high of 91 degrees, established just the previous day. It marked their fourth day in a row of 90 degree heat, after hitting 90 degrees just twice in the previous 25 years of records. The water temperature of Lake Erie at Buffalo, NY, reached 79 degrees, the warmest reading in 52 years of records. (The National Weather Summary)

1988 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather from central Kansas to western Kentucky and southern Illinois during the day. Thunderstorms produced tennis ball size hail at Union, MO, and winds gusts to 65 mph at Sedalia, MO. Five cities in Washington and Oregon reported record high temperatures for the date. Medford, OR, hit 107 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1989 - Early afternoon thunderstorms over west central Missouri drenched the town of Ferguson with four inches of rain. Early evening thunderstorms in Pennsylvania produced more than two inches of rain north of Avella in one hour. (The National Weather Summary)

 

2005: The citizens of Sand Point, Alaska saw a rare tornado touchdown on two uninhabited islands. Sand Point is part of the Aleutian Chain and is located about 570 miles southwest of Anchorage.

Much more comfortable temperatures to close out the month with a cutoff low getting stuck under the block early next week. Could be our next chance of rain by Monday. Exact amounts will depend on the track of the surface low looping back to the coast.

75 / 53 and very nice out.  A 72 hour stretch of really great weather this weekend.   Mid / upper 80s today and  Sat and Sun with the warmer spot reaching 90.  Cut off low as the ridge builds north backs in Mon (7/29) to spoil the nice stretch.   Continue a bit cloudy by Tue as front clears through.  Hotter by the 31s with heat aimed north and inland initially and next heatwave.  Tropics becoming forecast active, especially on the European.  Ridge west / North and Atlantic ridge keep us caught between - warm - hot and humid with potential rain / storm chances.

We might get a pretty sunset out of it.

 

 

True, and its nothing like it was at its peak last year when it was low to the ground. Most people probably wont even notice, they didn't last year either until it got to ground level. But I know its there, I know its there dammit! :weenie:  Anyway, a delightful low of 57/55 earlier this morning.

Absolutely, the low level smoke early last June was off the charts. Those fires were much closer in Eastern Canada. This is higher altitude smoke originating over the western portion of the continent.

84 degrees with a dew point of 55 here right now. Feels great out there. Nice to be able to work in the garden without getting soaked. 

Perfect summer weekend ahead. We'll probably hit 90 here, but it will be comfortable with dew points 55 to 60.
