Historical: 

1792: The first recorded tornado in Canadian history struck the Niagara Peninsula between Foothill and Port Robinson, leveling some houses and uprooting trees between the communities. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 

1816: The mean temperature for June 1816 in Philadelphia, PA was a record breaking 64°F (p.33 Washington Weather Book 2002 by Ambrose, Henry, Weiss)

1841: A tornado hit Danvers, Salem, and Marblehead, MA. During this severe weather event, small fish fell on a street in Boston.
(Ref. Wilson Wx. History)
 

1886 - The second destructive hurricane in nine days hit the Apalachicola-Tallahassee area. (David Ludlum)

1900: The combination of high winds and the presence of wooded fuel-filled cargo helped to spread fire on the Hoboken Docks in New Jersey. The fire began when cotton bales caught fire and spread to nearby volatile liquids. The fire killed at least 300 people and was seen in New York City. 

1901
Maximum temperature greater than 85° in Washington, DC from June 21st until July 7th, and greater than 90°F from 25th to 4th and 98° on 30th.
(Ref. Washington Weather Records - KDCA)

1908: A huge fireball streaked across the sky during the early morning hours over Siberia. A huge explosion occurred in the air near the remote Stony Tunguska River. The explosion flattened trees for 40 miles around and killed wildlife, but no crater or meteorite fragments were ever found. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1930: The Great Drought of 1930-1931 the year of 1930 was the driest year since the drought of 1869 to 1870. The drought caused $40 million dollars (1930 dollars) in losses to farmers in Maryland alone. Forest fires by the dry spell caused $580,000 in losses in Maryland. The precipitation deficit began in December 1929 and was fully classified as a drought by May of 1930. An extreme dry period set in from the end of June 1930 and continued through February 1931. During the 15-month period from December 1929 through February 1931, most places saw 60 percent or less of their normal rainfall. The average precipitation across Maryland and Delaware was 29.58 inches, which was 21.51 inches below normal. Baltimore recorded 27.31 inches for the 15-month period that was 23.03 inches below normal or 54% or normal. Washington, DC recorded 26.78 inches, which was 20.40 inches below normal or 57% below normal. The drought of 1998 to 1999 did not come near this severity, but it was the second severest drought of this century. The Palmer index, which is used to signal drought severity, classifies values of -3 to -4 as "severe drought" and values at -4 or less as "extreme drought". The Palmer Index for the region reached its lowest values during the end of the extreme dry period. In Maryland, west of the bay, Northern Virginia and the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, the Palmer Index was between -6.5 and -7.5 for January and February. Areas experienced up to 17   months of extreme drought conditions. The drought moderated some after February 1931 with periodic rains and showers through the summer months that helped the crops. However, these rains were not enough to restore the water table and water flow levels. Officially the drought did not end until about May 1932.

Amazing You-Tube Video of a Very Close Lightning Strike) (Ref. NWS Tells the Complete Story in a 5 Min. Movie)

2015: The heat was a big story for us throughout the month of June. It may come as no surprise then that this was one of the warmest Junes on record in Richmond. Our average temperature was 77.92° for the month. That was high enough to place June 2015 as the 8th warmest June in Richmond since record-keeping began in 1880. Richmond International Airport normal average temperature is 74.3°F. Richmond's (Ref. NWS Wakefield)

2021: An intense late-June heat wave peaked across the Northeast on June 30, 2021, as a powerful upper-level ridge sent temperatures soaring into the upper 90s and lower 100s. Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) reached 103°F, setting its hottest June temperature on record, while LaGuardia Airport (LGA) climbed to 101°F, tying its hottest June reading ever. Central Park reached 98°F, and Boston hit 100°F, marking its hottest June temperature on record. The remarkable heat capped one of the warmest Junes ever observed across much of the Northeast and produced numerous daily and monthly temperature records from New Jersey through southern New England.

78 / 66 day 2 for a few and for many others day 1 of a 5-6 or 7 day heatwave peaking Wed - Sat.  Isolated / scattered storms Fri - Sat and look for MCS which looks north into New England if develops. Sunday looks a bit unsettled but enough sun extends the heatwave for the areas.  Ridge > 594 DM and 850s peaking >22c Thu-Sat argues upper 90s / low 100s, maybe mid low - mid 90s in central park. Next week near to slightly above normal between 7/7 - 7/14 with ridge pulling back west and weak trough into the northeast.  WC / Rockies ridge pumps up and pushes pieces of heat east towards mid month. The usual transition from these strong ridge / heat spikes is followed by near / below normal for 3 - 7 days before next push of heat.

Historical:

1826: Thomas Jefferson made his last entry in his weather observation log on this date, just six days before he died.

1907: A tropical storm moved from the Gulf of Mexico to coastal North Carolina, where it dissipated. The remnants moved north and combined with a cold front moving in from the Ohio valley, producing two days of widespread severe weather through the 29th. In some areas, rainfall amounts ranged from 3 to 6.73 inches, producing flooding that exceeded the flooding of tropical storm Agnes in 1972. Thunderstorms also produced high winds, hail and tornadoes, including F2 tornadoes at Edgemont, PA where debris from a destroyed garage was carried three-quarters of a mile away. Eight people were killed, six by drowning in swollen streams or rivers.(Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1998: "The Corn Belt Derecho of 1998" in the following states NE, IA, IL, IN, KY. A derecho which originated in far southeast South Dakota moved across Illinois during the afternoon and evening and continued as far east as Ohio the next morning. Every county in central Illinois sustained some damage, as these severe thunderstorms passed.

Significant damage occurred in the microburst areas, including the towns of Morton, McLean, LeRoy, and Tolono. In Tolono, 22 cars of a southbound 101-car Illinois Central freight train were blown off the tracks. It was unknown how many vehicles were picked up by the wind, but 16 cars were turned over, and another six derailed but remained upright. The train was en route to Centralia from Chicago with a load of mixed freight, including plastic pellets and meal. The freight cars empty weighed about 60,000 pounds, while a full one weighs about 260,000 pounds. Overall, 12 people were injured, and damage was estimated at around $16 million.


2003: Tropical Storm Bill made landfall south of Houma, LA with top winds of 60 mph, spreading a six foot storm surge across the low lying portions of the Louisiana Coast.

2012: The maximum temperature today was 103 °F at the Richmond International Airport a new record maximum temperature for the date. The old record was 101 °F in 1980. (Records since 1897) The maximum at the West Henrico Co. - Glen Allen station was 102 °F at 4:20 PM. It was the hottest day here since July 22, 2011 when it was also 102 °F. Friday's derecho, a widespread and long-lived violent thunderstorm complex, affected millions of people from Chicago, Ill., to Washington, DC. Strong winds, in many cases in excess of 70 mph, downed numerous trees and power lines from Illinois to Maryland. Over 2 million people were left without power. Winds with derecho -- 86 mph at Wintergreen Mt., 80 mph at Roanoke Airport 71 mph, Dulles 70 mph at Reagan, National 59 mph in Richmond International Airport and only 37 mph in West Henrico Co. - Glen Allen VA.

2012: Fifth of the top ten weather events - Mid-Atlantic and Midwest Derecho. June 29. The widespread severe winds associated with the band of rapidly moving thunderstorms (a derecho) left a trail of destruction from Illinois to the mid-Atlantic, leaving some 4.25 million homes and businesses without power, killing 24 people, and costing hundreds of millions of dollars in property

74 / 65 clear.  Nice day on tap warm / dry - perhaps an isoloated shower or storm later low - mid 80s.  The heat is on Tue - Sun/Mon peaking Wed - Sat (7/1 - 7/4) with upper 90s / low 100s in the hottest spots.  Ridge position key and storms or MCS around the periphery of the 594 DM will bring isolated - scattered showers Fri - Sat - Sun but by no means a washout.  7/7 - 7/11 looks warm - hot with intense heat pulling back south and west, but still plenty of heat into theeas.  Looks like a trough in the 7/12 - 7/15 period to take us back to normal / below before the next roud of heat expands east right after mid month.

Historical:

1788 - The Battle of Monmouth in central New Jersey was fought in sweltering heat. The temperature was 96 degrees in the shade, and there were more casualties from the heat than from bullets. (David Ludlum)

1865: 24 people were killed by a tornado which cut a 40 mile swath through Southwest Wisconsin. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1892 - The temperature at Orogrande UT soared to 116 degrees to establish a record for the state. (Sandra and TI Richard Sanders)

1923 - A massive tornado hit Sandusky, OH, then swept across Lake Erie to strike the town of Lorain. The tornado killed 86 persons and caused twelve million dollars damage. The tornado outbreak that day was the worst of record for the state of Ohio up til that time. (David Ludlum)

1924: An F4 tornado hit Sandusky, OH then moved eastward across Lake Erie to strike Lorain, OH. 15 of the 64 deaths at Lorain occurred in the State Theatre, where a silent film was being shown. The tune "Sacrifice" was being played on the piano when the twister struck. The tornado produced a massive wave on Lake Erie. 85 people were killed and total damage was $12.5 million dollars (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1952: The highest overnight minimum temperature was 82° with a 98° maximum gave a daily mean of 90° at National Airport.

1954: All-time record temperatures for South Carolina tied at Camden, SC: 111 °F. (Ref. Lowest and Highest Temperatures for the 50 States)

1957: On this date through the 29th, the remnants of Hurricane Audrey combined with another area of low pressure over the Lower Lakes region. This produced one of the worst June storms of record and established a new record low sea-level pressure of 29.04 inches of mercury for the month of June. Heavy rains totaled 1.73 inches in 24 hours. The resulting gale on the 29th caused some of the worst damage to power lines in 30 years. One man was killed by a falling wire. In extreme east central Illinois, the town of Paris, in Edgar County, reported 10.20 inches of rainfall. This was a major contributor to a record June rainfall total of 17.65 inches, as well as a record year total of 61.59 inches. Weather records in Paris began in 1893. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1960: Kentucky registered their record maximum 24-hour precipitation as 10.41 inches of rain fell at Dunmor. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1968: Unseasonably heavy snow from the Cascades to the Northern Rockies, with 3 inches at Odell Lake, OR, and 2 inches at Mt. Rainier, WA through the 29th. Snow fell at Jackson, WY through the next day, with 8 inches at Mystic Lake, MT (elevation 6,558 feet). Some western Wyoming roads above 9,000 feet were closed for several hours. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

1975 - Lee Trevino and two other golfers are struck by lightning at the Western Open golf tournament in Oak Brook, IL. (The Weather Channel)

1980 - The temperature at Wichita Falls, TX, soared to 117 degrees, their hottest reading of record. Daily highs were 110 degrees or above between the 24th of June and the 3rd of July. (The Weather Channel)

1987 - Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced severe weather in the north central U.S. Thunderstorms in Nebraska produced wind gusts to 70 mph and baseball size hail at Arapahoe, and wind gusts to 80 mph along with baseball size hail at Wolback and Belgrade. Six cities in the Ohio Valley reported record low temperatures for the date, including Cincinnati, OH, with a reading of 50 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - Showers and thunderstorms brought much needed rains to parts of the central U.S. Madison, WI, received 1.67 inches of rain, a record for the date, and their first measurable rain since the Mother's Day tornado outbreak on the 8th of May. (The National Weather Summary)

1989 - Evening thunderstorms deluged Winnfield LA with eleven inches of rain in four hours and fifteen minutes, and Baton Rouge LA reported 11 inches of rain in two days. Totals in west central Louisiana ranged up to 17 inches. Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the Northern High Plains. Two inch hail broke windows in nearly every building at Comstock, NE. Thunderstorms in North Dakta produced two inch hail at Killdeer, and golf ball size hail at Zap. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1998: Record breaking heat occurred across parts of the southern Plains. Amarillo, TX (recently broken, currently 6/26/2011: 111°) and Dodge City, KS both set their all-time record high temperatures with 108° and 110° respectively. Roswell, NM recorded a record daily high of 110 °F. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

2003: A damaging severe thunderstorm rolled in from the east into Liberal, KS. The combination of 80 to 100 mph wind and hail larger than golf balls produced at least $8 million dollars in damage. Flash flooding occurred following the devastating hail and wind storm. Nearly all streets in and around Liberal were flooded. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

2006: The storm total of the 22nd - 28th of 2006 was 12.10 inches the most precipitation ever recorded at the Annandale Weather Center in a storm in the last 26 years; the old storm total record was October 6th - 8th of 2005 when 7.09 inches occurred.
We were lucky in a sense that 2006 was dry with a - 6.29 precipitation departure going into June or even more flooding would have been experienced. (Annandale Weather Center - Annandale, VA.)

2010: The maximum temperature today at the Richmond International Airport was 102 °F which not only broke the record high temperature for the date, but was close to the 104 °F record maximum for the month of June. Both June 27th and 28th had a maximum temperature 102 °F. Richmond has never had back to back 100 °F plus days before in June.  Only three June days have been hotter: (June 30, 1937 103 °F) (June 19, 1944 103 °F) (June 26, 1952 104 °F ) June 2010 also had 19 days of 90 °F or hotter temperatures the record was 20 in 1943. The Richmond International Airport reported the mean temperature for June was 81.1 °F which was a new 113 year record. This breaks the old record of 79.2 °F set in 1943 and was a +8.7 °F departure from average. June had 8 new daily temperature records and all were for heat.  (Ref. Richmond Weather Records - KRIC)

2010: Richmond, Virginia, set record for the most days in June reaching 102 degrees F (June 24, 27, and 28). (Ref. Weatherwise U.S. Weather Highlights of 2010 page 8 )

All 3 major models are now showing 105° potential for the warmest areas this week. Just goes to show what is possible when drought feedback coincides with such a strong ridge and a warming climate.

While the sample size for super El Niño events is small, this would be a first for a developing El Niño this strong. The other examples of heat approaching or exceeding 105° at the warm spots during July were La Ninas like 2011, 2010, 2001, 1966, and some years closer to neutral.

So the heat is getting an early start with this super El Niño. Past super El Niño events waited until the fall through the following summers for their greatest warmth relative to the seasons. 

 

 

Seems like 2006 / 2002 progression so far.  We'll have to see the extent of the ridge in the 7/8 - mid month period.

75 / 68 clouds hanging around much of the day but with breaks.   Warm / humid low -mid 80swhere the sun comes out most.  Trough into the west with snow into the mountains MT - ID - WY and subsequent ridge popping into the Midwest and northeast.  Building warmth into record heat 6/29 - 7/5 with core of the heat into the Southeast- Mid Atlantic and NYC-NJ region Wed - Sat.  Ridge builds to >594 Dm and 850 MB temps forecast in the >20c  by Wed and peaking >22c Thu-Fri.   The Fourth of July extended weekend 250th comes in hot blazing Fri-Sat and Sunday -  Isolated storms on the euro / more scattered storms on the gfs but for 90% i think it'll be good.  A bit of a pull back 7/6 - 7/7 but overall hot beyond with very stong / intense heat nearby and flirting with the eara in the period beyond.

Jul 3 -4  Very hot / humid isolated storms on both GFS/Euro  - GFS a bit more storminess. Jul 5-6 :  Hot - scattered storms.

Today's highs and outside another all day rainout this will be the coolest day of the next 7-10 -14

Last year the euro spit out 100° in more than 100 separate runs for the area throughout the summer (tracked on another board).  I think we get there, but 110 won't happen.  Its got a horrible summer warm bias even just a few days out

Agree and the risk of not surpassing last year and 2021's lat june / early uly heat will be any MCS development and storm but Wed-fri look prime for upper 90s / 100+.  Next wekend still hot but core of the intense heat shifts south by the 5th.

Hard to imagine the actual temp hitting 110. Gotta believe the Euro is overdoing it a little bit. But 100 to 105 seems likely -- this is looking like one of our worst heat waves ever. 

Not sure we'll beat last years late June heat or 2021 late jun heat but could be close.
