Records
It was warm across Middle Tennessee on this day in 1982. Nashville hit 75 degrees, while Crossville enjoyed a high of 67. Both were record highs.
It was warm on this day in 1988, too. In fact, it was warm enough for severe weather to happen in the Deep South. At least a dozen tornadoes swept across Mississippi. In Harperville, Mississippi thousands of chickens were killed when a tornado destroyed five chicken houses.
