    Today is Sunday  March 27, 2016.   
    This is the 87th day of the year, there are 279 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 1890 An outbreak of tornadoes occurred in the Ohio Valley.   
               One tornado struck Louisville KY killing 78 persons and   
               causing four million dollars damage.   
       In 1950 A three day snowstorm in the High Plains Region finally   
               came to an end.  The storm produced 34 inches of snow   
               in 24 hours at Dumont, located in the Black Hills of   
               South Dakota, and a total of 50 inches.   
       In 1984 The temperature at Brownsville TX soared to   
               106 degrees, and Cotulla TX reached 108 degrees,   
               equalling the March record for the U.S.   
       In 1987 The second blizzard in less than a week hit eastern   
               Colorado and western Kansas.  Snowfall totals ranged up   
               to 24 inches at San Isabel CO.  Winds gusted to 50 mph   
               at Goodland KS.  The high winds piled snow into massive   
               drifts, closing roads for days and killing thousands of   
               cattle.  Snow drifts thirty feet high were reported in   
               northwest Kansas.   
       In 1988 Temperatures rose quickly, then dropped just as   
               rapidly, in the central U.S.  Eight cities reported new   
               record high temperatures for the date as readings   
               soared into the 80s.  Lamar CO hit 91 degrees.   
               Southerly winds gusted to 63 mph at Gage OK, but strong   
               northwest winds, gusting to 61 mph at Goodland KS,   
               ushered much colder air into the area.   
       In 1989 Afternoon and evening thunderstorms produced severe   
               weather in the south central U.S.  Two tornadoes were   
               reported, and there were 77 other reports of large hail   
               and damaging winds.  Baseball size hail was reported at   
               Willow OK and Bartlesville OK.  Twenty-six cities in   
               the central and eastern U.S. reported new record high   
               temperatures for the date, including Yankton SD with a   
               reading of 84 degrees.   
       In 1990 Temperatures dipped into the teens and single numbers   
               in the northeastern U.S.  Scranton PA tied their record   
               for the date with a morning low of 18 degrees.  Temper-   
               atures warmed into the 60s and lower 70s in the Pacific   
               Northwest.  The afternoon high of 65 degrees at Astoria   
               OR equalled their record for the date.   
       In 2003 Severe thunderstorms spawned high winds, heavy rains,   
               and tornadoes across Florida. In the Liberty City-   
               Brownsville area of northwest Miami, a man was killed   
               when a 7 foot tree branch crashed into his living room.   
               In Ocala, straight lind winds knocked down a restaurant   
               hospitality tent at the Nancy Lopez Legacy Country Club,   
               injuring 8 of the 24 people under the tent. Gainesville's   
               Santa Fe Community College wsa closed after 1 1/2 feet of   
               water flooded three buildings. Several areas also received   
               large hail. Close to 39,000 homes lost power from the   
               storms, and several tractor trailer rigs were overturned.
