...New AVIATION...

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 909 PM CDT Sat Jun 21 2025

Rest of tonight...

Upper level ridge is in place over the region, with a weak
easterly wave across the northern Gulf. This combined with deep 
moisture around 1.6-1.9 inches, provided the impetus for showers
and storms today that are persisting into the early evening. For 
now, this should continue through the next hour or so. With low 
level moisture across the region and dewpoints hovering in the low
to mid 70s overnight, lows will be some 5-8F above normal 
(71-76F). Can't rule out some fog in east to southeast MS but
dense fog probs remain low. This will be probable in areas that
received decent rain this evening and low-lying river valleys. 
Updates are out. /DC/

Historical Weather And Climate Facts For Today

///////////////////////// JUNE 22ND...HISTORIC WEATHER EVENTS ...1947... Twelve inches of rain fell in forty-two minutes at Holt MO establishing a world rainfall record. That record was tied on January 24-25, 1956, at the Kilauea Sugar Plantation in Hawaii, as their state record was established with 38 inches of rain in 24 hours. (The Weather Channel) ...1972... Hurricane Agnes deluged Pennsylvania and New York State with torrential rains resulting in the most costly flood in U.S. history. In the Middle Susquehanna Valley of Pennsylvania, 24 hour rainfall amounts were generally 8 to 12 inches, with up to 19 inches in extreme southwestern Schuylkill County. At Wilkes-Barre PA the dike was breached destroying much of the town. Flooding resulted in 117 deaths and 3.1 billion dollars damage. (David Ludlum) ...1981... A young woman from Lubbock TX was struck by lightning. The bolt of lightning struck just above her right shoulder near her neck, and passed right to left through her body, tearing her warm-ups, causing her tennis shoes to explode, and lifting her two feet into the air. (The Weather Channel) ...1992... Record cold prevailed in the eastern U.S. with 67 low temperature records for the date tied or broken. Indianapolis, Indiana dipped to 37 degrees to set a new all-time record low temperature for June and the coldest summer temperature ever. In sharp contrast, it was a furnace in the Pacific Northwest with Eugene and Medford, Oregon setting new all-time record high temperatures for June with 102 and 111 degrees, respectively.
