    Today is Saturday  January 24, 2026.   
    This is the 24th day of the year, there are 341 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 1916 The temperature at Browning MT plunged 100 degrees in just   
               24 hours, from 44 degrees above zero to 56 degrees below   
               zero. It was a record 24 hour temperature drop for the U.S.   
       In 1935 Snowstorms hit the northeastern U.S. and the Pacific   
               Northwest producing record 24 hour snowfall totals of 23   
               inches at Portland ME and 52 inches at Winthrop MA.   
       In 1956 Thirty-eight inches of rain deluged the Kilauea Sugar   
               Plantation of Hawaii in 24 hours, including twelve inches   
               in just one hour.   
       In 1963 A great arctic outbreak reached the southern U.S.  The cold   
               wave broke many records for duration of cold weather along   
               the Gulf Coast.  A reading of 15 degrees below zero at   
               Nashville TN was an all-time record low for that location.   
       In 1982 Chinook winds plagued the foothills of southeastern Wyoming   
               and northern and central Colorado for the second straight   
               Sunday. The winds gusted to 140 mph at Wondervu CO, located   
               northeast of Denver.  Chinook winds a week earlier produced   
               wind gusts to 137 mph.   
       In 1987 Temperatures in Minnesota plunged far below the zero mark.   
               International Falls MN reported a morning low of 35 degrees   
               below zero, and Warroad MN was the cold spot in the nation   
               with a low of 45 below zero.  A storm developing in   
               northeastern Texas produced severe thunderstorms with large   
               hail in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas.  Camden AR reported   
               golf ball size hail.   
       In 1988 A blizzard rapidly developed in the north central U.S.   
               In just one hour weather conditions in eastern North Dakota   
               switched from sunny skies, light winds and temperature   
               readings in the 20s, to rapidly falling temperatures and   
               near zero visibility in snow and blowing snow.  High winds   
               in Wyoming, gusting to 72 mph at Gillette, produced snow   
               drifts sixteen feet high.  Northwestern Iowa experienced   
               its second blizzard in just 24 hours.  High winds in Iowa   
               produced wind chill readings as cold as 65 degrees below   
               zero.   
       In 1989 Heavy snow blanketed the Rockies and the Northern High Plains   
               Region.  Hettinger ND received 12 inches of snow.  Wolf Creek   
               Pass CO was blanketed with 16 inches of snow in just 24   
               hours.  Severe cold prevailed across Alaska.  Between the   
               24th and the 29th of January, a total of thirty stations in   
               the state report all-time record low temperatures.   
       In 1990 A deep low pressure system brought high winds and heavy snow   
               to the western Aleutian Islands of Alaska.  Winds gusting to   
               82 mph at Shemya reduced the visibility to near zero in   
               blowing snow. Rain and gale force winds lashed the northern   
               Pacific coast. Thunderstorms produced locally heavy rains   
               over the central Gulf coast states.   
       In 2000 Raleigh-Durham, NC was paralyzed by a record 20.4 inches   
               of snow...which shut the airport down for several days.
