Historical:

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

He bought his first thermometer while working on the Declaration of Independence and his first barometer shortly after that.

1878: The weather observer on top of Colorado's Pike's Peak noticed that a major storm remained stationary over South Park, some 50 miles away. The observer also noted that the whitened ground from hail could be seen until sunset. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History)

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)

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.

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.
