Historical:

1777 - The Battle of Bennington, delayed a day by rain, was fought. The rain delayed British reinforcements, and allowed the Vermont Militia to arrive in time, enabling the Americans to win a victory by defeating two enemy forces, one at a time. (David Ludlum)

1909 - A dry spell began in San Bernardino County of southern California that lasted until the 6th of May in 1912, a stretch of 994 days! Another dry spell, lasting 767 days, then began in October of 1912. (The Weather Channel)

1916 - Altapass, NC, was deluged with 22.22 inches of rain in 24 hours to establish a state record. (The Weather Channel)

1987 - Afternoon and evening thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced severe weather from Oklahoma to Wisconsin and Lower Michigan. Thunderstorms in central Illinois produced wind gusts to 80 mph at Springfield which toppled two large beer tents at the state fair injuring 58 persons. Thunderstorms also drenched Chicago IL with 2.90 inches of rain, making August 1987 their wettest month of record. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - Thunderstorms developing along a slow moving cold front produced severe weather from North Dakota to Lower Michigan during the day. Nine tornadoes were sighted in North Dakota, and thunderstorms also produced hail three inches in diameter at Lakota ND, and wind gusts to 83 mph at Marais MI. Thirty-seven cities in the northeastern U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date, including Rockford IL with a reading of 104 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1989 - Late afternoon and evening thunderstorms in the Central High Plains Region produced golf ball size hail at La Junta CO, Intercanyon CO, and Custer SD. Afternoon thunderstorms over South Texas drenched Brownsville with 2.60 inches of rain. Fair skies allowed viewing of the late evening full lunar eclipse from the Great Lakes Region to the Northern and Central Plains Region, and across much of the western third of the country. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1992 - One of the most destructive United States hurricanes of record started modestly as a tropical wave that emerged from the west coast of Africa on August 14. The wave spawned a tropical depression on August 16, which became Tropical Storm Andrew the next day.

New York City Parks officials are closing beaches across Brooklyn and Queens to swimmers this weekend in anticipation of life-threatening rip currents and other hazards expected from Hurricane Ernesto.

The beaches, including at Jacob Riis Park, will be closed Saturday, Aug 17 and Sunday Aug. 18.

The National Weather Service is forecasting local ocean swells of up to 6 feet in height and predicting wind gusts up to 12 miles per hour.

I was on the beach this evening and the Long period swell is already hitting the beaches. It’s not terribly big (yet) but it is powerful. You can feel the difference even in ankle deep water between an ‘everyday’ wave and something generated by a hurricane.

77 / 65 - partly sunny - wont last with clouds and rain fast approaching from the southwest.  Showers, storms and rain next three days as trough builds in then cuts off next week producing onshore flow Tue - Thu and cooler.  Trough lifts out later in the week and warmer by next wekeend and chance for some western heat in the last week of the month.

We deserve it 

The Bronx would easily go over 10.00” for August with more training convection like that.
