    Today is Saturday  March 26, 2016.   
    This is the 86th day of the year, there are 280 days left.   
      
    On this day...   
       Weather data after 1990 is PARTIAL. For more current   
       weather history, go to the National Climate Data Center   
       website at www.ncdc.noaa.gov   
       In 1913 The Ohio River Basin flood reached a climax.  Ten inch   
               rains over a wide area of the Ohio River Basin   
               inundated cities in Ohio, drowning 467 persons, and   
               causing 147 million dollars damage.  The Miami River at   
               Dayton reached a level eight feet higher than ever   
               before.  The flood, caused by warm wather and heavy   
               rains, was the second most deadly of record for the   
               nation.   
       In 1954 The temperature at Allaket AK plunged to 69 degrees   
               below zero.   
       In 1971 Parts of northern and central Georgia experienced their   
               worst snow and ice storm since 1935.  Two day power   
               outages ruined two million eggs at poultry hatcheries.   
               Two persons were killed when a tree landed on their   
               car.  (25th-26th)   
       In 1987 A cold front crossing the Plateau Region produced high   
               winds in Utah causing some property damage.  Winds   
               gusted to 51 mph at Salt Lake City.   
       In 1988 Twenty cities in the southwestern U.S. reported new   
               record high temperatures for the date.  Afternoon highs   
               of 73 at Flagstaff AZ, 90 at Sacramento CA, 95 at Santa   
               Maria CA and Los Angeles CA, 99 at Tucson AZ, and   
               100 degrees at Phoenix AZ set records for March.   
       In 1989 The "Easter Bunny" brought record warm temperatures to   
               the central U.S. while such records were still welcome.   
               A dozen cities reported record warm readings, including   
               Dodge City KS with an afternoon high of 88 degrees.   
               Strong southerly winds gusted to 51 mph at Dodge City,   
               and reached 55 mph at Salina KS.   
       In 1990 Fair weather prevailed across the nation for the second   
               day in a row.  Freezing temperatures were reported in   
               the Middle Atlantic Coast Region in the wake of an   
               early spring snowstorm.  Afternoon highs were again in   
               the 70s and 80s in the southeastern U.S., and for the   
               ninth day in a row, temperatures in the southwestern   
               U.S. reached the 90s.
