Record High/Low for today: 86/36

On this day in 1979, a reading of 12 degrees at Mauna Kea Observatory established an all-time record low for the state of Hawaii! And on this day in 1974, NASA launched the Synchronous Meteorological Satellite-1 (SMS-1) from Cape Canaveral. This satellite was pivotal in monitoring Earth’s cloud cover and transmitting meteorological data, enhancing our ability to predict weather patterns.

I just wanted to let you all know that the Storm Prediction Center has removed the plateau from the marginal risk for severe storms for Friday. We are now only in the general risk. We still can’t rule out a strong storm, but conditions for severe weather just aren’t going to be in place.

Look for scattered showers and t-storms for your Friday and Saturday. I’ll have a full update in the morning!

You all have a good evening!

Record High/Low for today: 88/33

On this day in 1854, the Franklin Review reported that a storm in Williamson County (just south of Nashville) was more severe than they thought. “We are pained to learn that the dwelling of our friend, Mr. Mathew Mecham, together with all his out houses, were blown down to the very foundation; and that the entire roof of the house, including shingles, sheeting, and rafters, was blown entirely away, so that, up to last Saturday, no trace of them could be found. A bureau in his house at the time of the storm was carried entirely away, and had not been found or heard of at latest dates. All the clothing, furniture, bedding, and indeed everything in and about the house was carried off, and scattered hither and thither over the face of the country. In the confusion of the scene, the parents jumped from the bed in which they were sleeping with a small child, forgetting to take the child up. The bed was blown some distance with the child in it, and fortunately was caught among some of the logs of the house, where it lodged, without injury to the child. The dwelling was blown down, and its very foundations removed. A large stone, supposed to weigh from five hundred to a thousand pounds, which served as a corner stone of the house, was overturned; and a heavy stone chimney was blown down to within a foot of the ground. Large trees were twisted off just above the ground, while others were taken up by the roots and carried a considerable distance. We have never known a more violent tornado to pass over this county.”

Record High/Low for today: 88/33

On this day in 1968, a tornado touched down southwest of Anchorage, Alaska. It was the second of just three tornadoes reported in Alaska since 1950.

In 1963, The final flight of Project Mercury launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. During that flight, pilot L. Gordon Cooper conducted 11 experiments and took photographs of the Earth. He even transmitted slow-scan black and white television images back to the Mercury Control Center at Cape Canaveral, the first TV transmission from an American crewed spacecraft. Cooper orbited the earth 22 times and spend 34 hours and 20 minutes in space, the longest space flight at that time. Although plans called for Cooper to sleep as much as eight hours, he slept only intermittently during portions of the flight.
