Today is Friday January 22, 2021.
This is the 22nd day of the year, there are 343 days left.
On this day...
Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current
weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center
website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov
In 1943 Chinook winds during the early morning hours caused the
temperature at Spearfish SD to rise from 4 below zero to
45 above in just two minutes, the most dramatic temperature
rise in world weather records. An hour and a half later
the mercury plunged from 54 above to 4 below zero in
twenty-seven minutes.
In 1987 A winter storm spread snow from central Mississippi through
northern Georgia to New England. Up to 15 inches of snow
fell across the heavily populated areas of Virginia,
Maryland and Delaware. Traffic tie-ups nearly paralyzed
the Washington D.C. area. Winds gusted to 76 mph at
Chatham MA, and in Pennsylvania, snowfall totals ranged up
to 21 inches at Dushore. Williamsport PA received five
inches of snow in just one hour.
In 1988 The nation was free of winter storms for a day, however,
winds in southern California gusted to 80 mph in the
Grapevine area of the Tehachapi Mountains, and winds along
the eastern slopes of the Rockies reached 100 mph in the
Upper Yellowstone Valley of Montana.
In 1989 Low pressure brought heavy rain and gale force winds to
Florida. Daytona Beach was drenched with 5.48 inches of
rain in 24 hours to establish a January record for that
location, and winds at Titusville FL gusted to 63 mph.
In 1990 It was a very tame and peaceful mid winter day. Mild weather
prevailed across the nation, with rain and snow primarily
confined to the northeastern U.S. and the Pacific Northwest.
Warm weather continued in Florida. Highs of 83 degrees at
Hollywood and 85 degrees at Miami were records for the date.
In 2012 Seven tornadoes plowed across south Arkansas, with one
severe storm producing 5 tornadoes across 6 counties. The
hardest areas were the north side of Fordyce, and a 150
year old church in Kingsland was destroyed. Of the
tornadoes, four were EF1, and three were EF2. The tornadic
storm had rotation on Doppler radar for well over 100
miles. At Marvell in eastern Arkansas, a severe storm
produced 115 mph straight line winds, equivalent to a
Category 3 hurricane.
