OUTSTANDING STORMS OF THE MONTH

1. LARGE HAIL FALLS IN THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE

During the afternoon and evening hours of June 27, 1999 several severe thunderstorms produced large hail

on the high plains of eastern Wyoming and western Nebraska. Storms from the previous day produced a

prime environment for severe thunderstorm development. An upper level disturbance moved across the

area during the afternoon and evening hours. The early morning Severe Weather Outlook identified this area

as having a “Moderate Risk” of severe weather. The Storms Prediction Center (SPC) in Norman, OK issued

a Tornado Watch at 1:39 PM (All times MDT) for portions of eastern Wyoming and the Nebraska

panhandle. The National Weather Service office in Cheyenne, WY issued the first Severe Thunderstorm

Warning at 1:41 PM. Spotters in eastern Wyoming reported hail 1" to 1.75" and an F0 tornado. The storms

continued into the panhandle of Nebraska and the NWS issued several Tornado Warnings for southwestern

Sioux and Scotts Bluff counties. Several reports of 1.75" hail were received as the storms moved into the

western portion of Scotts Bluff County. As the storm moved directly over the city of Scottsbluff, 2.75" hail

fell in and around the city between 5:17 PM and 5:25 PM. Twenty-five injuries occurred in Scottsbluff,

mainly cuts from broken glass and also bumps and bruises from hard-hitting hailstones. The Scottsbluff zoo

reported injuries to many animals, especially birds. Property and crop damage estimates exceed $90 million

dollars. As the thunderstorm moved southeast of Scottsbluff an F1 tornado touched down at 5:43 PM and

destroyed the roof of a home in McGrew, NE.

A slow-moving line of thunderstorms dumped between one to two inches of rain in Fort Smith, most of it falling in a 30 to 45 minute

time frame. This caused numerous streets to flood and numerous vehicles to stall in Fort Smith. Near 16th and Grand, cars were

floating in the floodwaters. A newspaper clipping pictured a van stalled in high water near North 10th and "C" Streets, while another

photo showed two women walking in knee-deep water near North 8th and "I" Streets.

A cluster of severe thunderstorms moved out of eastern Oklahoma and into westcentral Arkansas on the afternoon of June 29 along a

nearly stationary front. These storms produced several severe wind reports and excessive rainfall along the Arkansas River valley.

The most significant damage occurred in Fort Smith when a short line of storms "bowed" out, producing winds strong enough to

cause damage to permanent structures.

Lightning caused a fire that heavily damaged a duplex in Johnson.

Several roads in western Benton County were flooded, including AR Hwy 43 near Maysville, AR Hwy 12 east of Gentry, and AR

Hwy 59 near Sleepy Hollow. AR Hwy 264 was flooded, blocking access to the NW Arkansas Regional Airport.

In Maysville, Beaty Creek overflowed its banks, drowing at least 50,000 2-week old chickens at one chicken farm. Nearby along AR

Hwy 43 two houses were flooded as well as several vehicles parked nearby. The water in one of the houses was apparently so high

that the refrigerator was floating. Several propane tanks floating down the creek became lodged under the Hwy 43 bridge. The

Maysville Baptist Church was also lightly flooded.

Near Decatur and Gentry, the bridge across the rain-swollen Flint Creek was completely submerged. There was also flood damage to

Wagon Wheel Road and Butler Road.

Avenue, which connects to AR Hwy 16, was also flooded. Garland Avenue, which becomes AR Hwy 112, was flooded in places.

The corner of AR Hwy 16 and AR Hwy 265 also flooded.

Damage to roads throughout Washington County was estimated at $400,000. Initial assessments showed damage to 50 miles of

county roads with four bridges destroyed, impassable or needing significant repairs. Among the worst hit was a low-water bridge

over the War Eagle River on Washington County Road 526, also known as Gar Hole Road, which collapsed after being undermined

by raging flood waters. Other bridges damaged include a bridge on County Road 872 near the Harmon community, a low-water

While not meeting severe thunderstorm criteria, a line of late spring thunderstorms ran across north-central Fresno and to the east of

Fresno. Hail just less than 3/4-inch in diameter was deposited to the depth of 2 inches accompanied by gusty wind to at least 30

MPH and locally heavy rain bringing widespread street flooding. Some power outages were reported throughout the Fresno City

north and east sides from a line of thunderstorms that passed through the area from just before 7 PM PDT to half-past the hour.

Spotters reported rainfall rates of 0.60 inches in 15 minutes in north-central Fresno...overall precipitation varied from 3/4-1 inch of

rain over a 2-hour period along the storms' paths. Agriculture sustained damage from the hail with foilage and blossoms stripped on

vines, and fruit and nut crops damaged from 10 to 100 percent in locations north, east, and southwest to southeast of Fresno. The

damage figure is estimated for all of Fresno County, including the hail from the southwest-to-southeast of Fresno.

On June 7, the season's second Bermuda High brought the first 90 degree weather of 1999 to northwest Connecticut. At the Albany

International Airport it was the first official 90 degree temperature since August 16, 1997. The temperature did not stop there, but

soared all the way to 95 degrees. This value tied the daily record for the date last set in 1925. The combination of heat and humidity

produced heat indices as high as 100 to 105 degrees during the hottest portion of the day. High temperatures were similar in

Litchfield county. There were no unusual problems or power outages reported due to the excessive heat.

DEZ001>004 New Castle - Kent - Inland Sussex - Delaware Beaches

Unseasonably dry weather continued throughout the month of June across Delaware. On a county weighted average June monthly

precipitation averaged between 1.8 and 2.3 inches and was only about 55 percent of normal. Only the Dover local area came close to

normal precipitation. The lack of rain added to longer term precipitation shortages. By the end of the month the Palmer Drought

Severity Index rated the entire state as being in severe drought.

Farmers were reporting stunted crop growth. Because of the lack of rain, they were not planting soybeans. There was increasing

costs because of the need for early irrigation. Irrigation equipment companies reported a 500 percent increase in sales. They were

working 15 to 16 hours a day to keep up with the demand. By the end of the month topsoil moisture conditions were rated as 42

percent short, subsoil moisture conditions were 36 percent short and pastures were 28 percent short or very short of moisture.

The ongoing drought had other affects beyond agriculture. Water levels in shallow water table observation wells were all below

normal. Daily streamflow conditions continued below average. The Red Clay Creek near Wooddale (New Castle County) was

notching new daily streamflow lows. Flow along the White Clay Creek was half of normal and was so low that Newark (New Castle

County) was on the verge of ceasing to pump water from the creek and start buying it from United Water of Delaware.

Precipitation totals for the month included 4.04 inches in Dover (Kent County), 2.63 inches in Greenwood (Sussex County), 2.55

inches in Lewes (Sussex County), 2.12 inches in Georgetown (Sussex County), 1.90 inches at the Porter Reservoir (New Castle

A large high pressure system over the southeastern United States pumped in a hot and humid air mass across the Delmarva Peninsula

for three days. The hottest day was the 8th. A weak trough brought in slightly cooler and considerably drier air on the 9th, although

high temperatures still reached around 90 degrees. A stronger backdoor cold front (it moved from north to south) brought in

considerably cooler air into the region the evening of the 9th. High temperatures reached 98 degrees in Milford (Kent/Sussex County

Line) and Salisbury, MD, 97 degrees in Georgetown (Sussex County) and 94 degrees at the New Castle County Airport.

There were five heat related illnesses reported in Wilmington on the 7th. Many schools in the state had early dismissals on the 8th.

A fan drive was initiated for the elderly within Wilmington and the city's Department of Health and Social Service Division of Public

Health issued safety and health related warnings. People were not the only ones to suffer, the Automobile Association of America

High pressure was the dominant weather feature across the Washington D.C. metropolitan area during the month. This weather

pattern directed rain producing low pressure systems north of the region and continued the climatological drought that has gripped the

area since last summer. By the last week of June the Palmer Drought Index, a measure of long term drought conditions, indicated

Washington D.C. was in a severe drought. June was the 8th month in the past 12 months that precipitation was below normal. From

July 1998 through June 1999 precipitation was a staggering 14 inches below average, the 3rd driest 12 months on record.

Washington Reagan National Airport reported a monthly total of 2.26 inches, 1.12 inches below normal. Measurable rain only fell on

8 days during the month, and 1.32 inches of the total fell ont he 16th. The lack of precipitation affected water reserves. The flow of

water down the Potomac River at Washington D.C. hovered around 18% of average, and many new record low daily flows were

recorded in upstream tributaries of the river. Monthly flow rates along the basin have been below average for the last 10 months.

Unusually high proportions of river flow, 33%, were diverted from the river into public water supplies during the month. The normal

diversion rate is about 5%.

High pressure centered over the Southeast U.S. caused air to downslope over the Appalachian Mountains, sending afternoon

temperatures into the upper 90s to lower 100s. The heat, in combination with very humid air, resulted in afternoon heat indices

between 100 and 110 degrees. Dupont Circle in Northwest Washington reported a high temperature of 100 degrees on the 7th, 8th,

and 9th. The high temperature at Washington Reagan National Airport on the 7th was 98 degrees, which broke a record high of 97

degrees set in 1899. The high at National Airport on the 8th was 98 degrees, which also broke a record high of 97 degrees set in

1899. George Washington University reported a high temperature of 99 degrees on the 8th. The mercury climbed to 98 degrees

again at National Airport on the 9th, but failed to break the record high of 102 degrees set in 1874. Nighttime lows only dipped into

the upper 70s, making the overnight hours very uncomfortable for those without air conditioning. As a result of the heat, a pollution

alert was issued for the Washington D.C. metropolitan area on the 7th, and D.C. authorities opened 5 "cooling shelters" for area

residents during the heat of the day. Schools in the District cancelled classes on the 8th and 9th because many buildings did not have

air conditioning. Low water pressure was reported in parts of Northeast Washington near the Anacostia River on the 8th and 9th, and

was attributed to the high use of water during the unusually warm period.

The observer at the Titusville Executive Airport reported seeing a funnel cloud over the Indian River Lagoon.

On the morning of June 4th. a moist and unstable airmass was in place across the Southeast states, including Georgia. As a frontal

system moved slowly south from Tennessee into north Georgia, a severe thunderstorm outbreak affected most of north and central

Georgia. Large hail was the primary threat, with the wet bulb zero around 10,000 feet. The storms began to form in northwest

Georgia around 1 pm local time, and spread south and east throughout the afternoon and into the late evening. The worst damage was

reported across the extreme southern part of the Peachtree City warning area. Pulaski County, in south central Georgia, sustained over

$300,000 worth of wind and hail damage, mostly to crops. There were other scattered reports of wind damage from this event, but

large hail was the primary severe weather occurrence. Reports from the public and 911 centers indicated over 100 reports of 3/4 of an

inch or larger hail, including over five dozen reports of 1 inch size or larger, There were even two reports of hail as large as a

baseball and softball in northeast Georgia.

Thunderstorms produced nearly 3 inches of rain in parts of Cobb county during a 3 hour period, according to radar estimates.

Newspaper articles said as much as 5 inches may have fallen as slow moving thunderstorms persisted over the area. Poor drainage

may have also been responsible for accumulating 6 to 12 inches of water on some roads. About 90 homes were damaged by flood

waters. About a dozen people in the Powder Springs area were evacuated, due to concern that the dam on a small private lake may

have weakened. Cobb county officials estimated that the storms would cost affected homeowners $1.2 million.

HIZ003>004- Maui - North And East Hawaii Including Windward Kohala / Hamakua / Hilo / Puna - West

Trade winds prevailed throughout the entire month of June, at mostly light to moderate intensities. Trade wind showers occurred

across the region on a consistent basis, but rainfall totals were generally light statewide. The lack of significant rains over portions of

the islands of Hawaii and Maui helped worsen an ongoing rainfall deficit that can be traced back to the 1997/98 El Nino event.

Maui County

Dry conditions persisted over most areas of Maui County during June. The central valley of Maui and the Makawao upslope region

had been especially dry, with three gages in the area (Waikapu Country Club, Kihei, and Pukalani) recording zero rainfall through the

month, and the gages at Kula and Ulupalakua recording only 0.01 and 0.03 of an inch, respectively. The persistence of dry conditions

in this area has forced local government to place mandatory restrictions on water use. Conditions were better over windward areas of

Maui where rainfall totals were 69 and 87 percent of average. The three gages spread across the islands of Molokai and Lanai all

reported below average rainfall as well.

Island of Hawaii

June was relatively dry for the island of Hawaii. The gage at Glenwood was the only site to report above average rainfall (7.83

inches, 107 percent of average). The remaining sites were mainly in the 50 to 75 percent of average range. The Kau region was very

dry, with totals of only 9 and 15 percent of average recorded at Pahala and Kapapala Ranch, respectively. The Kamakoa gage in

leeward Kohala showed the lowest rain total at 0.01 of an inch (3 percent of average). Although June was relatively dry for the

island, year-to-date totals remained at, or above, average for most of the sites in the Hilo and Puna areas due to the very wet

conditions experienced during January through mid-April.

The following list contains rainfall statistics for selected locations from Maui and the Island of Hawaii. The first column is the

observed rainfall for June. The second column is the 30-year average for that location, while the third column lists the percent of

In Upcountry Maui, the Board of Water Supply declared a warning stage in June, which requires a mandatory 10 percent cut in water

consumption for all non-agricultural users. (Agricultural users are allowed a 30-day grace period to make critical decisions about

when, or if, to sell livestock or plant crops.)

Ranchers and farmers in Kula and Ulupalakua in Maui are reducing their herds and crops to cope with the current drought, and are

also doing so in anticipation of a mandatory 10-percent cut in water consumption that is likely to take place by the middle of July.

Ulupalakua Ranch official Sumner Erdman said the drought has been the worst in its 75-year history of recording rainfall. Erdman

said the ranch, which manages about 23,000 acres, will probably lose about $350,000 to $500,000 in the next three to five years due

to the drought.

In the Hamakua District on the island of Hawaii, some residents are required to reduce water use by 25%. This includes the

Kukuihaele and Kapulena communities. Residents in the North Kohala towns of Makapala, Keokea, and Niulii were told to reduce

their water consumption by 10%.

Island of Hawaii ranchers, who say some cattle are dying in the worst drought in years, are reducing the size of their herds because of

parched pasture lands. Conventional wisdom holds that the Big Island's drought of 1998 faded after threatening vegetable and flower

farmers for months. But it never ended for ranchers. Robby Hind, livestock manager for the 225,000-acre Parker Ranch that covers

parts of the South Kohala and Hamakua districts in the northern parts of the Big Island, has reduced its livestock from 50,000 cattle to

35,000 head over the past four years and plans to reduce further to 30,000 because of the ongoing drought. Pono von Holt, owner of

the 12,000-acre Ponoholo Ranch, has cut his herd from 7000 to about 5000 and is anticipating significant financial losses next year

when the books close on the current ranching cycle. He has been forced to sell heifers for slaughter on the Mainland instead of

keeping them for breeding stock. On the south side of the island, in the Kau District, the 14,000-acre Kahuku Ranch is spending

hundreds of dollars a week to haul water to keep cows and calves alive after two years of drought, according to Carl "Soot" Bredhoff,

the ranch manager for 17 years. Bredhoff said rain for the first six months of the last two years measured a total of 18.17 inches,

versus about 59 inches recorded for the first six months in the two previous years combined.

A frontal system stalled to the south of Iowa during the night of the 1st and began to lift north as a warm front during the day on the

2nd. At the same time an upper low moved northeast into the state. A surface low also formed under the upper low and moved

along the front. Initial convection kicked off south of the surface low in the warm sector as a dry line punched east under the low.

The storms that formed remained below severe levels, but did produce heavy rain and pea to marble size hail. As the upper low

advanced east, a comma precipitation pattern formed. The head of the comma was over Butler County as heavy thunderstorms

moved into the county and then stopped. As the vorticity maximum moved through the area, the storms began to sag slowly south

and weaken. In the process, upwards of 2 to 3.1 inches of rain fell over much of Butler County. This caused urban flooding

problems, but not too serious. Water was reported over some roads for a while, but the water receded once the rain tapered off.

Meanwhile, over western Iowa, small thunderstorms formed in what would be the deformation zone under the cold pool aloft. The

storms were popcorn variety and lasted for 15 minutes or less. A few of the storms produced cold air funnels. One storm in Calhoun

A strong southerly flow of air developed over Iowa during the predawn hours setting the stage for the development of a mesoscale

convective complex. A warm front was positioned to the southwest of Iowa. To the south of the front, surface dew point

temperatures were in the low to mid 70s. To the north they remained around 60 degrees F. A low level jet stream formed with wind

speeds in excess of 50 kts. Initially, thunderstorms fired over central Nebraska. After midnight, convection began to fire in a band

from northwest into central Iowa. This convection remained below severe levels however. Meanwhile. the convection over Nebraska

formed into a full blown mesoscale convective complex and moved into eastern South Dakota and northwest Iowa. After sunrise, the

system did not die out as is usually the case. Instead it turned southeast and headed into Iowa. By mid morning, a beta bow element

started to slide southeast across the state. The main weather features associated with the bow echo was winds and hail. As the

system continued southeast across the state, it took on more characteristics of a derecho, and indeed turned southward and was over

southern Alabama by the following morning. Reports of winds of 60 MPH or higher were numerous with the passage of the bow

echo. Fortunately, most of the damage was limited to tree and power line damage. At least one home was damaged by high winds in

Warren County, west of St. Marys. Reports of hail were also numerous with many reports of one inch up to golf ball size diameter

hail. Lucas County was hard hit with hail of one and one half to two inches in diameter. In the town of Chariton, two inch diameter

hail nearly covered the ground. The area of storms continued southeast and produced 58 MPH winds in Ottumwa, and 60 MPH

winds in northern Davis County. The town of Stiles in Davis County received three quarter inch diameter hail as well. As the storms

moved through central Iowa, lightning caused at least two fires. Lightning struck an apartment complex containing six units in Ames,

setting it on fire. No injuries were reported, however extensive damage occurred to the complex. In Johnston, lightning struck a

home and caused a fire in the attic. Damage there was limited to about $10,000.

The synoptic situation remained much the same as they were the previous night with the exception that the warm front was a little

farther north than the previous night. A large mesoscale convective complex formed once again to the northwest of Iowa. The

difference this time was that the entire system lifted northward. into South Dakota and Minnesota. As a result, only the far northwest

part of Iowa was affected by the severe weather. As the system brushed northwest Iowa, severe thunderstorms produced hail in Palo

Alto County, though the hail was only slightly larger than severe criteria. The southeast edge of the complex brushed a small part of

north central Iowa. Several trees were downed just to the northeast of Northwood by the high winds. A short time earlier, high winds

moved through Winnebago County and caused damage in the Buffalo Center area. The outflow boundary moved south and blasted

into Hancock County. A hog confinement building was destroyed by high winds north of Eagle Grove.

A cold front and dry line were approaching Iowa during the morning of the 6th. Overnight the preceding night, the dry line aloft

moved into Iowa, however the dry line at the surface lagged behind by a few hundred miles. At sunrise, surface dew points were in

the upper 60s to low 70s over western Iowa, while the dew point at 850 mb over Omaha had dropped to -8 degrees C. Little eastward

progress occurred during the day as a strong upper level disturbance began to lift north from the Texas Panhandle. During the early

afternoon skies cleared over western into central Iowa. Temperatures warmed into the upper 80s to low 90s, while at the same time

temperatures in the mid levels cooled several degrees C. As a result, CAPE values were in excess of 4000 J/kg. By late afternoon,

Iowa was in the rear entrance region of an upper level jet streak. Thunderstorms erupted as a result. Actually there were two short

lines of convection. Both were oriented north-northeast to south-southwest and were moving northeast around 50 MPH. Severe

weather developed rapidly and was mainly in the form of high winds and hail. There were several small tornadoes as well. Reports

indicate that most of the tornadoes were brief spin-up tornadoes or gustnadoes. With the exception of two slightly stronger tornadoes,

all of the tornadoes were very short lived F-0 tornadoes and produced little damage. A couple of the tornadoes did turn out to be a bit

stronger. One in Webster County south of Otho was on the ground for a couple miles, while another was intermittently on the ground

for over 10 miles in Franklin County. All of the tornadoes were over rural areas and consequently did little damage. Hail was very

common with the storms as well. There were numerous reports of hail from three quarters inch up to golf ball size. One of the cells

produced a two to three mile wide swath of one inch diameter hail across Kossuth County north of Algona, causing considerable crop

damage. In addition to the hail, many locations reported winds of 60 to 70 MPH. High winds in Thornton lifted a steel grain bin and

crushed it. In Hancock County, high winds from one of the storms blew a semi-tractortrailer over south of Corwith. The driver

sustained minor injuries from broken glass. Winds were common since the storms were moving about 50 MPH themselves. Local

law enforcement reported visibility reduced to under one half mile in blowing dust with several of the storms. Winds around 60 MPH

swept through the Gowrie area in Webster County for example. Power was knocked out and many trees were toppled by the high

winds. A barn was nearly destroyed near Stratford in Hamilton County.

A strong upper level disturbance moved north-northeast into Iowa during the afternoon hours. A very unstable airmass was in place

over the state with lifted indices near -10 degrees C. Surface dew points were in the low 70s as high temperatures soared into the

upper 80s and 90s. This combined to produce CAPE values near 5000 J/kg. Thunderstorms erupted initially developed in more or

less an east to west line. That line lifted north and as it did produced very heavy rain and some hail of three quarters of an inch to an

inch in diameter. A second line formed in a more north to south orientation and moved east across the state. There were also some

reports of dime size or larger hail from that line as well. Serious crop damage occurred in Hancock County southeast of Kanawha

due to the hail. Crops needed to be replanted in the area. The main problem was with the intersection of the two lines. At the

intersection of the two outflow boundaries from the lines a few brief tornadoes occurred. These were more like spin up tornadoes and

were very short lived, causing no significant damage. One was in Wright County north of Goldfield, another Humboldt County

southwest of Renwick, with yet another in Hancock County southeast of the Kanawha area. As the storms moved through the Lake

Mills area in Winnebago County, high winds downed trees and caused vehicle damage. As the evening progressed, the upper level

vorticity maximum was evident in the radar signature. The comma head of the precipitation passes over Black Hawk and Grundy

Counties. Reports southeast of Waterloo indicated 3.76 inches of rainfall in a 90 minute period. Meanwhile, the area between

Reinbeck and Wellsburg received in excess of 5 inches of rain in a 3 hour period. Normally, this amount of rain would not be all that

serious, however soil conditions in that part of the state were very saturated resulting in significant runoff. Flash flooding occurred in

the two counties. Numerous gravel roads were washed out over the northwest part of Butler County with widespread flooding

reported between Reinbeck and Wellsburg.

The first two weeks of June saw a continuation of the pattern that persisted through much of May with heavy rains across most of the

Des Moines HSA during the period. These rains were primarily due to meso scale forcing in the very humid airmass that persisted

across the central Plains during the first half of the month. Heavy rainfall during the afternoon and evening of June 8 fell over

northeast parts of the HSA as a very moist and unstable airmass combined with several weak outflow boundaries to generate

widespread thunderstorms. Radar estimated rainfall of up to 6 inches was indicated over northwest Grundy County, and Flash Flood

warnings were issued for Black Hawk and Grundy Counties. The highest rain gage report came from Steamboat Rock on the Iowa

River with 2.65 inches. The heaviest rains fell in the Iowa and Cedar River basins, especially along the Beaver Creek. A Flood

Warning was subsequently issued for the beaver Creek at New Hartford as the runoff from these storms entered the river, and Flood

Statements were issued for several other forecast Points. The night of June 9 saw a repeat of the previous evenings convective

activity, but fortunately centered over a different river basin. The heaviest rains were observed over Sac and Calhoun Counties in the

extreme upper portions of the Raccoon River basin. Spotter reports from this area ranged from 2 to 3.5 inches, while radar indicated

that up to 5 inches fell in some locations. Rains were still significant over parts of the Iowa and Cedar basins. Steamboat Rock on

the Iowa River picked up an additional 2.12 inches to add to the 2.65 inches the night before. Williams in the northeast part of

Hamilton County received 2.31 inches. An Urban/Small stream Flood Advisory was issued for the overnight activity in Sac, Calhoun,

and Webster Counties. Convective rainfall was widespread across the HSA on the 10th for the third night in a row, with the heaviest

amounts over the central and southern parts of the area. Two to 3 inches of rain fell over parts of the lower Des Moines River basin

with 1 to 2 inches in the upper Skunk basin. Winterset, located in the North river basin, measured 1.95 inches and Story City in the

Skunk basin, and Ames 3S exceeded flood stage by the evening of the 11th. Renewed convection developed over the counties south

and east of Des Moines during the evening hours of the 11th, prompting the issuance of Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisories

for several counties. Most of the rain barely missed the Raccoon River basin, where the river was already in flood due to rains on

previous days. Rains continued to plague southern portions of the HSA late on the 12th and early on the 13th, as weak short waves,

relatively strong jet stream dynamics, and relatively high moisture combined to generate slow moving thunderstorms. Again, the

heaviest rain fell over basins which previous escaped heavy rains. This time the East Fork of the 102 river in Taylor County rose

quickly to just below flood stage as a result of 2 to 4 inch rains and a Small Stream Advisory was also issued for Decatur County. For

the most part, flooding was restricted to agricultural lands during this extended event. Crops were lost and some were able to be

replanted. Scattered damage occurred along many of the states rivers, however most areas affected were areas that routinely receive

high water, thus damage was limited.

The synoptic situation was very much like it was the previous day. A cold front had become nearly stationary from northern

Minnesota into central Nebraska. An upper level disturbance lifted northeast into Iowa during the afternoon hours. The airmass was

primed with dew point temperatures in the upper 60s to near 70 and surface temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s. As a result,

CAPE values were once again in excess of 5000 J/kg by mid afternoon. A line of thunderstorms formed over the west part of the

state in a north to south line. Initially these storms were not severe. The southern end of the line was more broken up with several

individual cells scattered along the line. The storms became pulse severe with one of the cells collapsing over Atlantic in Cass

County. The microburst that resulted was recorded by a local radio station there at 108 MPH. Significant damage occurred over a

30 square block within the city with both structural damage as well as tree damage reported. Several homes sustained major

structural damage. Another report indicated trees as large as three feet in diameter were toppled. After that storm dissipated, another

cell formed northeast of Atlantic. This storm produced 60 MPH winds about 9 miles to the northeast of the city. Minor damage

occurred in Audubon in Audubon County as 60 MPH winds blew into the city. Several farm buildings were damaged in Greene

County as high winds struck southwest of Grand Junction. Yet another cell formed just west ot Taylor County and moved into the

area. This cell produced winds of 70 to 80 MPH as it moved into the New Market area. After a period of relatively quiet weather,

the storms became stronger as they headed into central Iowa. High winds were recorded at 61 MPH at the NWS office in Johnston,

with the winds causing tree damage across northern Polk County into the southern part of Story County. There were numerous

reports of hail with the storms as they crossed the west two thirds of the state, though the hail size was generally around one half inch

or less.

The synoptic weather situation remained much the same as it had been over the past few days with a very slow moving cold front

oriented northeast to southwest across northwest Iowa. The front stalled during the late night hours. Another upper level disturbance

lifted northeast in the southwest flow aloft that was in place over the central U.S. An area of thunderstorms developed to the

southwest of Iowa and lifted northeast into the state. The storms took on a bow echo configuration as they lifted over south central

and central Iowa. There were numerous reports of gusty winds and marble size hail, however most of the winds remained below

severe levels. High winds were reported with the storms as they moved through Madison County, with 70 to 80 MPH winds reported

south of Winterset. As the storms moved through the Red Rock Reservoir area, winds of 70 to 80 MPH caused tree damage in the

area. The storms moved into central Iowa by mid day. They had weakened, but lightning from the storms struck a church in

Urbandale causing a small fire in the buildings roof and attic. Damage was set between $5,000 and $10,000. Lightning struck a tree

outside of a mobile home in Indianola. The tree crashed down onto the mobile home, smashing through the roof and wall and

injuring one resident inside. She sustained only minor injuries.

A warm and fairly humid airmass was in place over Iowa. Surface temperatures warmed into the upper 80s to low 90s with dew

point temperatures in the mid 60s to low 70s. A cold front was approaching the state from the northwest. Thunderstorms fired up

along the northern portion of the front across Minnesota initially. Though the CAPE values over Iowa were near 5000 J/kg,

thunderstorms were not able to fire initially due to a mid level cap. Storms back developed across central into south central

Minnesota, then eventually developed south-southwest into Iowa. With the freezing level near 14,500 feet, it was difficult for the

storms to produce hail. It took VIL values of 70 kg/m**2 to produce severe hail. The storms produced high winds and hail in

Minnesota, but the winds in Iowa were below severe levels. Hail of three quarters inch to nearly one inch in diameter pelted Emmet

County as the most intense storms moved across the county. In addition to the hail, the storms dropped one to two inches of rain as

they passed. Local flooding was a problem, but it was not widespread.

The northwest sections of the HSA received heavy rains during the overnight hours of the 26th and early 27th. The rainfall, which

developed along a slow moving cold front, was concentrated in the upper Des Moines River basin. Estherville, located in the upper

reaches of the basin, picked up a 24 hours total of 2.04 inches. Rains in excess of an inch also fell over parts of the upper Raccoon

basin, Perry for example received 1.54 inches. Additional significant rainfall on the 27th and 28th occurred along the same front over

the west central and northeast parts of the HSA. Moderate rises were observed on a few rivers as a result of these rains, but only the

North Raccoon near Jefferson briefly exceeded flood state. Damage from this event was once again quite minor as rivers only

flooded areas that normally flood anyway. Statewide statistics for the month, provided by the iowa State Climatologist, indicated that

June of 1999 was wetter than normal, but not extremely so. With 5.27 inches of rain, it was the 46th wettest June in the past 127

years of Iowa weather records. The wettest areas were in the northwest and west central sections of the state. All agricultural

districts had above normal rainfall except for the south central district, which was just slightly below normal. At 69.7 degrees, the

state wide average temperatures were very close to normal for June, falling about one half degree below normal.

Excessive rainfall on June 27-28 in northeast Kansas caused widespread minor to moderate river flooding. Locations in flood

included the Missouri River at Atchison and Leavenworth, the Kansas River near 23rd Street in Kansas City, Kansas, Indian Creek in

Overland Park, the Marais des Cygnes at Osawatomie and LaCygne, the Delaware River near Muscotah, and Stranger Creek at

Easton and Tonganoxie. The flooding along the Missouri and at Tonganoxie continued into the month of July.

Heavy rainfall during the late evening hours resulted in urban flooding that required road closings and water rescues around midnight,

local time.

Northeastern Kansas was hit by three waves of thunderstorms on June 27 and 28, which produced excessive rainfall and eventually

resulted in significant flash flooding in the Kansas City area. The first complex of storms moved through on the morning of June 27,

without much in the way of excessive rain or severe weather. However, storms continued to re-develop across eastern Kansas, just

south of the Nebraska-Kansas border, during the afternoon. By late afternoon, 2-3 inch rainfall totals were commonplace in the

northeast corner of Kansas. The focus for thunderstorm development slowly shifted southward, closer to Kansas City, during the

evening hours. The thunderstorm activity shifted southward out of the area after midnight, but on the morning of the 28th, another

complex of storms moved through the area. The rains that these storms dropped on already saturated ground produced significant

flash flooding.

Storm total rainfall amounts were 3 inches or more through most of northeast Kansas. A few of the highest storm totals were 5.35

inches in Bonner Springs, 4.77" in Easton, 4.73" in Olathe, 4.50" in Overland Park, and 4.06" in Stilwell.

streets and highways throughout the county. One of the hardest hit areas was Highway 60 West in Morganfield, which was covered

by an estimated two and a half feet of water at one point. This led to flooding of several businesses, including an auto body shop and

a plumbing and electrical supply store. An equipment dealership suffered the loss of about 10 vehicles located on its lot. Elsewhere in

Morganfield, major flooding occurred on North Morgan Street, which was closed near the Union County Shopping Center.

Businesses along both sides of the street received extensive flooding. The first floor of a motel received severe damage, dislocating a

number of guests. Several stores in the Union County Shopping Center, such as a video store and a restaurant, received water

damage. A department store had a couple inches of water over the entire floor, resulting in over 3,000 dollars in lost merchandise.

Drought

0000EST

2359EST

High pressure was the dominant weather feature across Maryland during the month. This weather pattern directed rain producing

low pressure systems north of the region and continued the climatological drought that has gripped the area since last simmer. The

drought warning issued by the Maryland Department of the Environment remained in effect through June. By the last week of the

month the Palmer Drought Index, a measure of long term drought conditions, indicated North Central and Northeast Maryland were

in a severe drought, and South Central and Western Maryland were in an extreme drought. June was the 8th month in the past 12

months that precipitation was below normal. From July 1998 through June 1999 precipitation was a staggering 15 inches below

average, the 2nd driest 12 months on record. Only 2.04 inches of rain fell at Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI)

during the month of June, 1.63 inches below normal. BWI received 0.86 inches of this total on the 24th. The Maryland Science

Center at Inner Harbor Baltimore reported a total of 2.42 inches. Additional June rainfall totals included Allegany County at 1.8

inches, Washington County at 2.8 inches, Frederick County at 2.6 inches, Prince Georges County at 2.5 inches, Carroll County at 1.7

inches, Northern Baltimore County at 2.4 inches, Howard County at 1.3 inches, Anne Arundel County at 2.2 inches, Montgomery

County at 1.5 inches, Charles County at 2.2 inches, and St. Mary's County at 2.4 inches.

The lack of rainfall affected water levels along the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay. The flow of water past Washington D.C.

hovered around 18% of average, and many new record low daily flows were recorded in upstream tributaries of the river. Unusually

high proportions of river flow, 33%, were diverted out of the Potomac River into public water supplies during the month. The normal

diversion rate is about 5%. Monthly flow rates of the Potomac River have been below average for the last 10 months. Flows in the

Potomac were equal or slightly below minimum June daily mean flow values recorded during the 1980-82 drought. Many gaging

stations reported streamflow at or below the 90 percent exceedence. The total flow into the Chesapeake Bay has been below average

for the past 11 months. Freshwater inflow to the Chesapeake Bay in June was less than 74% of the previously recorded low set in

1964. The deficit of fresh water resulted in an increase of salinity levels in the bay and had an impact on animal and plant life.

Several towns in Carroll County, including Mt. Airy imposed mandatory water restrictions at the beginning of the month. A popular

swimming beach at Greenbriar State Park near Hagerstown remained closed because the water level remained well below the capacity

of the 50 acre reservoir.

The lack of precipitation also continued to beat down crops and pastureland. Watering holes and irrigation sources continued to dry

up, forcing many farmers to carry water to livestock. Hay producers reported less than half of their normal yields from their second

cutting. Soybean planting came to a halt in many locations. Corn crops that should have been knee-high by mid month were only 1

foot tall. Some farmers had to reduce their herd sizes in order to stretch hay and water supplies. Tobacco, normally a

drought-tolerant crop, suffered in the fields. 37% of pastureland, 18% of corn, and 21% of soybeans across the state were reported in

poor or very poor condition. 59% of topsoil was reported as short or very short of moisture by the end of the month.

High pressure centered over the Southeast U.S. caused air to downslope over the Appalachian Mountains, sending afternoon

temperatures into the upper 90s to lower 100s. The heat, in combination with very humid air, resulted in afternoon heat indices

between 100 and 110 degrees. Record high temperatures were set at Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI) on the 7th,

8th, and 9th. High temperatures on the 7th included 96 degrees at BWI, 98 degrees at the Maryland Science Center in downtown

Baltimore, 95 degrees at Sharpsburg in Washington County, 97 degrees at Oxon Hill in Prince Georges County, and 100 degrees at

Williamsport in Washington County. Highs on the 8th included 97 degrees at BWI, 98 degrees in downtown Baltimore, 97 degrees

at Oxon Hill, and 95 degrees at Sharpsburg and Williamsport. Highs on the 9th included 96 degrees at BWI, 95 degrees in downtown

Baltimore, 96 degrees at Cumberland, 98 degrees at Oxon Hill, 97 degrees at Bryans Road, 96 degrees as Sharpsburg, and 104

degrees at Williamsport. Nighttime lows dipped into the 70s, except the lower 80s in downtown Baltimore, making the overnight

hours very uncomfortable for those without air conditioning. As a result of the heat, a pollution alert was issued for the Washington

D.C. metropolitan area on the 7th. Air conditions reach "Code Red" levels two days in a row. Schools without air conditioning in the

City of Baltimore, Prince Georges County, and Anne Arundel County cancelled classes. Area hospitals reported treating a handful of

people for heat related illnesses , including a hospital in Anne Arundel County that admitted a patient for heat related dehydration.

Several locations reported near record water and energy consumption during the period.

An area of showers and thunderstorms moved across Central Maryland between 4:45 and 6:15 PM EDT. The strongest of these

storms moved across Prince Georges and Anne Arundel County, producing winds in excess of 55 MPH, small hail, frequent

lightning, and very heavy downpours. A government building near Auth Road in Camp Springs had a plate glass window on the

northwest side of the structure blown out by high wind. Law enforcement reported several trees and power lines downed, mainly

concentrated in the Camp Springs and Forestville area. 35 electrical wires were downed by fallen tree branches in the Baltimore and

Annapolis area. 17,500 customers across Central Maryland and Southeast D.C. lost power as a direct result of the storm. Lightning

was also a devastating part of the storm. One man standing near a bulldozer on Olney-Laytonsville Road in upper Montgomery

County was struck by lightning around 5:00 PM EDT. He survived the strike but was in serious condition from hand and foot

injuries. Lightning damaged electrical appliances in a home in the Hillsmere community, just south of Annapolis, around 5:35 PM

EDT. Lightning also started a fire at a townhouse in Temple Hills around 5:37 PM EDT. Two brush fires were also ignited by

lightning in Anne Arundel County. Heavy downpours from the storms were also a contributing factor in a fatal accident in Glen

Burnie. A 21 year old man was killed around 5:30 PM EDT when his car hydroplaned on a curve and hit a tree on Interstate 895

The drought intensified during the month of June across the Maryland Eastern Shore. The drought warning for the state of Maryland

remained in effect. On a county weighted average June monthly precipitation averaged between 2.0 and 2.2 inches and was only

about 55 percent of normal. The lack of rain added to the longer term precipitation shortages. By the end of the month the Palmer

Drought Severity Index rated the entire state as being in moderate to extreme drought.

Most crops were still in fair to good condition, but pastures needed additional moisture. About half the pastures in the state were

rated as poor or worse. The one notable crop exception was soybeans. Because of the lack of rain, farmers stopped planting them

and where they were planted, they were "in really big trouble". Farmers stated this was the earliest in the growing season that

conditions were this dry in 50 years. By the end of the month about 2/3rds of the state's topsoil and 4/5ths of the state's subsoil was

rated as being either short or very short of moisture.

The ongoing drought had other affects beyond agriculture. Several municipalities started implementing water restrictions including

Centreville, Saint Michaels and Preston. On June 8th, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) issued a warning of

high fire danger across the Eastern Shore. About 35 acres have burned the first week of June. Overheated farm equipment and

debris burning were the leading causes. The DNR suggested farm machines be equipped with fire tools or fire extinguishers to

minimize the danger. About 200,000 young fish of all represented species were killed in two Chesapeake Bay tributaries in late June

and early July. Low oxygen levels caused by drought induced low streamflows were blamed for the deaths.

A large high pressure system over the southeastern United States pumped in a hot and humid air mass across the Delmarva Peninsula

for three days. The hottest day was the 8th. A weak trough brought in slightly cooler and considerably drier air on the 9th, although

high temperatures still reached around 90 degrees. A stronger backdoor cold front (it moved from north to south) brought in

considerably cooler air into the region the evening of the 9th. The high temperature in Easton reached 95 degrees on the 7th and 98

degrees on the 8th, both making new daily high temperature records for the cooperative observation station. Highest temperatures

reached during this hot spell included 98 degrees in Salisbury and 97 degrees at the Baltimore-Washington International Airport.

Some students became ill in Caroline County schools on the 7th. Authorities believed it was heat related. Students were dismissed

early on the 8th in all schools that did not have air conditioning. Talbot County school districts cancelled all planned outdoor

activities for the 8th.

On June 7, the season's second Bermuda High brought the first 90 degree weather to western Massachusetts. At the Albany

International Airport it was the first official 90 degree temperature since August 16, 1997. The temperature did not stop there, but

soared all the way to 95 degrees. This value tied the daily record for the date last set in 1925. The combination of heat and humidity

produced heat indices close to 100 degrees in the Berkshires, during the hottest portion of the day. There were no unusual problems

These thunderstorms produced large amounts of hail early in their lifetimes. The largest hail report was of golfball sized hail from a

spotter near Fenton. The thunderstorms evolved into damaging wind producers as they matured. Many large trees were downed

from Grand Blanc, east to the city of Lapeer. In Atlas Township (Genesee County), a large building had part of its roof removed, and

It was another hot and humid day in southeast Michigan. Thunderstorms developed in the afternoon hours along the leading edge of

the lake breeze boundaries, as they pushed inland from Saginaw Bay and Lake St Clair. The strongest storms during the late

afternoon and evening produced very heavy rain and some hail. Relatively few storms produced strong wind gusts. A thunderstorm

in southern Oakland County downed a few trees and power lines early in the evening, and a couple of cars were hit by falling trees.

During the evening, severe thunderstorms developed repeatedly over Midland County. Some locations within the county saw severe

weather on multiple occasions during the evening. Again, most of the reports were of large hail, but a few trees and large limbs were

downed as well. In addition, radar estimated over 5 inches of rainfall on the far west side of the city of Midland during the evening.

Surprisingly, no significant flooding was reported - most likely due to antecedent dry conditions, and the mainly rural nature of the

area where the heaviest rain fell.

front in the afternoon. These storms moved northeast, reaching Midland County very late in the afternoon. Damaging wind gusts

affected much of the county, which had been hit hard by severe thunderstorms the previous night. Large tree limbs were downed,

mainly in a swath near US 10 from Sanford to just north of Midland.

Yet another hot and humid day for southeast Michigan, producing an unstable atmosphere prone to thunderstorm development. The

first thunderstorms developed early in the afternoon along lake breeze boundaries off of Lake Erie and Lake St Clair. Additional

storms developed along the outflow boundaries from the initial thunderstorms, and things quickly snowballed from there.

Most of the severe thunderstorms produced either marginally severe hail, or damaging wind gusts that downed trees and power lines.

The most widespread damage was in Redford, where two homes and several cars suffered extensive damage after being hit by

toppled trees. Trees were also downed onto cars in Royal Oak. A swath of tree damage also occurred from Inkster to Dearborn.

Sheriffs reported a 60 mph gust in Macomb Township, and a 65 mph gust in Inkster.

The same thunderstorm that produced severe weather in Redford also contributed to flash flooding there, and in the surrounding

communities. About three inches of rain fell during the severe thunderstorm, with over five inches of rain for the event as a whole.

This produced substantial urban flooding in Southfield, Redford, and Dearborn. Warren Avenue, Michigan Avenue, and Eight Mile

Road were among the major highways that saw flooding. Many homes suffered basement flooding in this heavily urbanized area.

Some side streets in Redford had standing water into the following day.

This was the last in a string of humid days, as a cold front dropped south across southeast Michigan that night. The atmosphere was

still unstable enough to support a fifth straight day of severe weather. However, clouds covered much of the region for most of the

day, limiting the available instability. Only in the far south, near the Ohio border, did substantial sunshine occur. It was here where

the only severe thunderstorms of the day developed.

Once again, lake breezes played a role in initiating thunderstorms. This day, a lake breeze off of Lake Erie generated a severe

thunderstorm that downed two trees in the city of Monroe. A trained spotter estimated 65 mph wind gusts with this storm. A second

severe thunderstorm developed to the southwest soon after, downing numerous trees in Whiteford and Bedford Townships. One

home was damaged when a tree fell on it. A Monroe County Sheriff estimated 60 mph winds in this area.

Training of thunderstorms occurred for a short time in the evening in northern Oakland County. A spotter measured 3.64 inches of

rain from 845 pm to 1045 pm EDT in Ortonville. Runoff caused flash flooding in northern Oakland County, with several gravel

roads washed out in rural areas, and some street flooding in the towns of Holly and Ortonville.

slowly north. This activity produced several reports of gusty winds that brought down trees and tree limbs. There were also a couple

of reports of 3/4 inch diameter hail.

Downed trees and limbs were reported by law enforcement in Gratiot County.

Northwest and west-central Missouri were battered by three separate rounds of thunderstorms on June 27 and 28. The first cluster of

storms moved through on the morning of the 27th, producing isolated incidents of wind damage. During the afternoon, storms

continued to redevelop over northeastern Kansas and track eastward into west-central Missouri. By late afternoon, the storm track

had shifted southward into the Kansas City metro area. These rains on top of already saturated ground began to produce flooding

problems. Storms continued to track across the Kansas City area during the evening, bringing rain totals to nearly 3 inches in some

parts of the metro area by 10 pm. South of Kansas City, the late-night storms produced wind damage, downing trees in Bates and

Henry Counties.

Just in time for Kansas City's Monday morning rush hour on the 28th, another cluster of thunderstorms moved through the metro

area. These storms caused wind damage, downing trees in parts of Jackson and Cass Counties. Rainfall rates around 2 inches per

hour were reported in some parts of the Kansas City area, and widespread urban and flash flooding resulted.

Storm total rainfall amounts across northwest and west-central Missouri were generally 3 inches or greater. The hardest hit areas in

the Kansas City metro area were near the Missouri River. Kansas City Downtown Airport recorded 5.02 inches of rain, and 5.55

inches of rain fell in Independence. Southern Johnson and northern Henry counties in west-central Missouri recorded some of the

highest rainfall totals in west-central Missouri. In Henry County, Blairstown received 6.41 inches, Clinton reported 5.91", Urich had

4.98", and 4.25 inches of rain fell in Windsor. In Johnson County, 5.50 inches fell at Kingsville, and 4.67 inches were recorded at

Whiteman Air Force Base.

After being over flood stage for much of May, the Mississippi River remained slightly above flood stage at Cape Girardeau through

early June. With a flood stage of 32 feet, the river held at or below 33.5 feet during early June. This caused some minor flooding of

its way northeast before lifting after midnight about 7 miles north of Ord. This F3 tornado had a damage path almost one-half mile

wide at one point. It completely destroyed two farmsteads and damaged two others along its path. At the two destroyed farmsteads,

residents took shelter in the basement upon warning. The tornado tossed cars and farm equipment up to 300 feet, strewn irrigation

pipe across the countryside and killed livestock. The two destroyed homes were completely wiped from the foundation. However,

given sufficient warning, no one in the storms path was injured or killed.

Widespread wind damage occurred during the predawn hours of June 27 as a line of severe thunderstorms packing winds up to 80

mph roared across south-central Nebraska. The hardest hit areas were Furnas, Harlan and Kearney counties. In Furnas county, trees

were uprooted and 12 inch tree limbs snapped. Windows were blown out and a horse trailer moved 20 feet by the wind. Damage to

grain bins and outbuildings was extensive. In Harlan county, ten center irrigation pivots were lost and 5 to 10 percent of the corn and

soybean crop suffered "green snap" damage from the wind. A portion of the roof was torn from a home near Stamford and numerous

trees were uprooted in the area. Finally in Kearney county, the funeral home in Wilcox lost its roof in the wind. The interior was

badly damaged as well. Quite a few grain bins were lost in southern Kearney county along with about a dozen center pivots. In all,

100 to 150 power poles were snapped in the three county area. Power was out for several hours in many areas.

Elsewhere, damage was less extensive but still widespread to trees and some small buildings. In Blue Hill, lightning struck a home

and nearly burned it to the ground. The occupants were able to escape without injury. Power poles were snapped near Clay Center

and a portion of a roof was ripped from a barn on a farm near Edgar. Heavy rainfall of 2 to 4 inches forced water over low lying

areas and temporarily flooded the streets of Kearney. Just east of Kearney, a wind gust blew over two semi tractor trailers on

Interstate 80. Damage to the trucks was extensive but no injuries resulted.

Dry conditions continued in June. The Palmer Drought Severity Index dropped to a moderate drought category. Forest fire danger

was high. Streamflow conditions also continued to be below normal. As of the end of the month, the state was on track to set a new

record for the number of fires in a single year. Through June, 1048 fires had burned 460 acres and 34 buildings in the state. The

busiest year previously was 1985 when 1605 fires were recorded. The state's drought management team issued a drought warning

asking residents of the state to voluntarily conserve water.

Unseasonably Dry

0000EST

2359EST

Unseasonably dry weather continued throughout the month of June across New Jersey. Aside from Essex, Cumberland and Atlantic

Counties, all the other counties on a county weighted average had less than half of their normal monthly precipitation. The state

average rainfall total of 1.92 inches was the 10th driest June on record dating back to 1895. The driest counties were Hunterdon,

Somerset and Mercer, where either .8 or .9 of an inch of rain fell all month and was about 22 percent of normal monthly rainfall. The

unseasonably dry weather forced a fire ban at all campgrounds. The ongoing dry weather will prevent many farming areas from

having a second cutting of hay. Yields on other crops are expected to be affected if no rain is received soon including the soybean

crop. Farmers were forced to irrigate their crops. Pumpkins and sweet corn in Northern New Jersey were suffering because farms in

the northern part of the state rely heavily on precipitation and not irrigation.

A large high pressure system over the southeastern United States pumped in a hot and humid air mass across New Jersey. The

hottest day was the 8th. A weak trough brought in slightly cooler and considerably drier air on the 9th, although high temperatures

still reached around 90 degrees. A stronger backdoor cold front (it moved from north to south) brought in considerably cooler air into

the region the evening of the 9th. New daily high temperature records were set on both the 7th (96 degrees) and the 8th (98 degrees)

at the Atlantic City International Airport in Pomona. The daily record high temperature of 95 degrees was tied at the Atlantic City

Marina on the 8th.

In Camden County, a hotline was established for the elderly to refer them to cooler, air-conditioned locations. No serious heat related

problems were reported. Highest temperatures during this hot spell included 100 degrees in New Lisbon (Burlington County), 98

degrees at the Atlantic City International Airport, Freehold (Monmouth County), East Toms River (Ocean County), Pemberton

(Burlington County) and Belle Mead (Somerset County), 97 degrees in Mount Holly (Burlington County), Pennsauken (Camden

On this afternoon the dryline pulled a short distance away from the mountains and with favorable convergence was able to act as the

focus for deep convection in Southeast New Mexico. Winds in the Pecos Valley were sustained at about 15 knots from about

130-140 degree into the dryline. Temperatures were in the lower 90s with dewpoints in the lower to mid 60s.

This storm formed on the outflow boundary to the south of the developing line that was moving through Lovington.

Storms developed on the Sacramento Mountains and moved eastward into Eddy County. The organization of the storms was aided

by an upper level disturbance moving to the east. The organized lift associated with the disturbance appeared to help storms form

into a line. By the time the storms crossed the Eddy/Lea County line, an almost continuous line existed southward into Southwest

Texas.

The left-split cell of a storm that formed over Loving County, TX, moved to the northeast into southern Lea County, NM. The this

single cell storm dropped its hail on State Highway 128. The storm continued to the northeast, just missing Eunice, then dropped

more hail in the northwest corner of Andrews County, TX.

Central New York's only damage producing thunderstorms for the month came on this day as a disturbance in the upper atmosphere

raced out of the Ohio Valley and into New York State by early afternoon. Natural daytime heating and warm, humid air created very

unstable conditions over most of the northeastern United States. Isolated thunderstorms developed in western New York by late

morning with several additional clusters moving into the Central Southern Tier by mid afternoon. Scattered tree and powerline

damage occurred in a swath from Steuben county eastward to Tioga County between 1:30 and 4:00 p.m. EDT. Further intensification

of the storms provided more widespread tree and power line damage around the Binghamton area where 60 mph winds were

estimated. Golfball size hail fell for 15 minutes covering the ground in Conklin and two pedestrians were injured when a large

On June 7, the season's second Bermuda High brought the first 90 degree temperature of 1999 to much of eastern New York. At the

Albany International Airport it was the first official 90 degree temperature since August 16, 1997. The temperature did not stop

there, but soared all the way to 95 degrees. This value tied the daily record for the date last set in 1925. The combination of heat and

humidity produced a heat index between 100 and 105 degrees during the hottest portion of the day. There were no unusual problems

or power outages reported due to the excessive heat.

Counties. The thunderstorms produced dime size hail in Philmont, Columbia county. The storms then produced a microburst with

wind gusts estimated to be between 60 and 90 miles an hour in the vicinity of East Hillsdale. These winds brought down a large

number of trees along Old Town and Collins Roads between State Highways 22 and 23. Fallen trees damaged cars, power lines and a

couple of buildings. The path of destruction was about a mile from east to west and about half a mile from north to south. Golf ball

size hail was reported by an eyewitness in Hillsdale. In Greene county , thunderstorm winds toppled trees onto Route 67 between

A strong tornado, rated an F3, touched down in far western Cherokee County, possibly as a waterspout on Fort Gibson Lake. The

tornado moved south onshore and through the rural Amber Hills housing area, crossing OK Hwy 51, and lifting after tracking

through much of the Sequoyah State Park.

In the Amber Hills and Hammer Hill Road areas, a total of 68 homes sustained some form of damage. Of that, 17 single family

dwellings and 13 mobile homes were destroyed. Eight single family dwellings sustained major damage and 11 others had minor

damage. One mobile home sustained minor damage. Fourteen other single family dwellings and four other mobile homes were

affected. In one of the destroyed mobile homes, an elderly man and woman were inside. The woman was killed immediately, and

the man was seriously injured, dying one week later in a hospital of tornado-related complications. This becomes eastern Oklahoma's

first killer tornado since the April 1994 Catoosa tornado.

Across OK Hwy 51 in Sequoyah State Park, between 400 and 500 trees were lost to the tornado. The carport at the park manager's

residence was destroyed, and an RV was turned on its side. Fortunately, most Memorial Day campers had cleared out, therefore

there were no injuries in the park.

An F1 tornado touched down near the Port of Muskogee and moved south for 2.25 miles, lifting just south of Three Forks Park. This

tornado destroyed three structures belonging to one business, destroyed two business outbuildings at 3-Forks Park, caused minor

damage to one business under construction, and affected eight single family dwellings.

The most newsworthy result of this tornado was damage directly inflicted upon the OG&E electrical generation plant. The tornado

damaged a coal conveyor belt and a cooling tower. The damage was enough to shut down two of the plant's four coal-powered

generating units.

At the Fansteel plant, six buildings were torn down by the tornado, causing up to $1.5 million damage there.

The F1 tornado described here was the first of two tornadoes to touch down in Checotah on the evening of June 1. Each tornado was

spawned from the same parent thunderstorm. The first tornado travelled through a more densely populated area of Checotah and

therefore caused more damage, even though the second tornado had a stronger intensity rating of F3 on the Fujita scale.

The first tornado touched down at 646 PM CDT on the west side of Checotah near the intersection of US Hwys 69 and 266 (West

Gentry Avenue). The tornado then moved southeast through town, eventually lifting near the 700 block of South Broadway Street at

649 PM CDT. Spotters described the tornado as having a rope-like appearance.

Damage assessments in Checotah combined the effects of the first and second tornadoes. Overall for both tornadoes, there were a

total of 75 homes that had some sort of damage. Here is the breakdown: six homes were destroyed, 21 homes sustained major

damage, 48 homes sustained minor damage, three businesses sustained minor damage, and 28 head of cattle were killed. All of the

business damage occurred with the first tornado. Most notably, a Wal-Mart near US Hwys 69 and 266 sustained roof and window

damage, while a Pizza Hut on South Broadway Street sustained roof damage. In addition, numerous trees were blown down, with

some trees falling onto vehicles and homes.

The F3 tornado described here was the second of two tornadoes to touch down in the Checotah area on the evening of June 1. Both

tornadoes were spawned from the same parent thunderstorm. Even though this tornado had a stronger F-rating than the first, it

caused less widespread damage since it travelled through a less densely populated area.

The second tornado touched down on the southeast side of Checotah near I-40 and Grapevine Road at 650 PM CDT. The tornado

travelled southeast for 4.5 miles and then lifted at 706 PM CDT.

Damage assessments in Checotah combined the effects of the first and second tornadoes. For details of the damage assessment, see

the third paragraph of the narrative for the Tornado entry immediately preceding this entry. This tornado, the second of the two, was

rated an F3 based based on the near-complete destruction of a farm house 3 to 4 miles southeast of Checotah.

A weak spin in the upper atmosphere, the remains of an old MCS, moved across northeast Oklahoma on the afternoon of June 7.

With only weak wind fields present that day, these storms were pulse-like in nature and quickly became outflow-dominated. These

storms mainly produced hail up to quarter-size and marginally severe winds in a widely scattered, random fashion around the area.

About 3/4" of rain fell in a short time in Muskogee, causing water to quickly rise and seep into the Heritage Home Nursing Center on

Flooding forced the closing of US Hwy 69 2 miles north of Adair and OK Hwy 28 near Adair. Between 630 and 700 AM CDT, a

53-year old man drowned when his car was washed away by eight-foot deep floodwaters flowing over OK Hwy 28 west of Adair.

Those floodwaters were associated with heavy flows in a branch of Pryor Creek. Numerous county roads were flooded throughout

A line of thunderstorms formed along a southeastward-moving outflow boundary on the morning of June 24. These thunderstorms

eventually moved across all of eastern Oklahoma. Many locations across eastern Oklahoma experienced wind gusts of 40 to 50 miles

an hour, though a few storms along in the line pulsed up enough to briefly produce marginally severe wind and hail. This line of

storms also produced locally heavy rainfall amounts with most locations receiving from 3/4" to 1 1/2" of rain.

A line of scattered thunderstorms first developed to the west of Tulsa around 300 AM CDT on the morning of June 30. This line of

storms quickly filled in to become a solid line, or a nocturnal MCS, racing southeast toward east-central Oklahoma. Along the way,

these storms produced several severe wind reports and torrential rainfall.

Some of the heavier rainfall reports from the morning's rainfall include: Lyons...3.22", Jenks...2.74", Mannford...2.68",

Dustin...3.11", and Hominy...2.75". These rains came on top of an already-wet spring and a wet June in which more than half of the

days during the month experienced measurable rainfall.

An area of showers and thunderstorms developed in the early afternoon of the 9th across north central Oklahoma, producing isolated

severe weather and heavy rainfall. Throughout the remainder of the 9th, and into the early morning hours of the 10th, storms

continued to redevelop and move slowly across these same areas, resulting in widespread flooding throughout seven counties.

Garfield County appeared to be the hardest hit. Doppler radar estimates indicated that four to ten inches of rain had fallen across

much of the southwest and central part of the Garfield County between 1200 CST on the 9th and 1100 CST on the 10th. By 0600

CST on the 10th, rainfall reports since the afternoon of the 9th included:

9.0 inches three miles east of Bison

8.7 inches four miles southeast of Enid

8.43 inches in Bison

8.0 inches in Douglas

6.92 inches in Waukomis

5.12 inches at Vance Air Force Base

Doppler radar estimates of four to eight inches were also noted in the northwest part of Kingfisher County.

The first reports of flooding were from Enid in Garfield county, where street flooding was reported at 1538 CST on the 9th. Several

reports of road closures and water covered roads were received from Garfield County during the event. Oakwood Road was closed

from just south of Enid to near Waukomis, as was Highway 81 near Bison, which was reported to be covered with two to three feet of

water. Highway 81 was also covered with water at various other locations throughout the county. Numerous county roads were

water-covered in the vicinity of Bison, including EW Road 56 at Rock Creek, which was under ten inches of water. Water was also

covering a county road three miles south of Fairmont. Several roads were closed on the morning of the 10th in and around Waukomis,

including Highway 81, Drummond Rd, Pioneer Rd, Blacktop Rd, and Bison Rd.

In Kingfisher County, a family had to be rescued from their home on Cemetary Road in Hennessey on the morning of the 10th. Four

to five inches of water covered the road at the intersection of Highways 51 and 132, while the Cimmaron River was flooding

Highway 51 six miles west of Lacey. Highway 51 was closed due to flooding along the banks of Turkey Creek, and was covered with

A large high pressure system over the southeastern United States pumped in a hot and humid air mass across most of Eastern

Pennsylvania for three days. The hottest day was the 8th. A weak trough brought in slightly cooler and considerably drier air on the

9th, although high temperatures still reached around 90 degrees. A stronger backdoor cold front (it moved from north to south)

brought in considerably cooler air into the region the evening of the 9th. There were two heat related deaths in Montgomery County.

The high temperature of 95 degrees on the 8th at the Philadelphia International Airport established a new record high for the day and

already matched the hottest day in the city for all of 1998.

Two heat related deaths and at least one heat related injury occurred in Montgomery County. A 62-year-old man was found dead on

the third floor of his apartment in Pottstown. An 85-year-old man collapsed in his garage in Royersford. In and around Philadelphia,

many school districts that did not have air conditioning dismissed their children early or rotated classes through air conditioned

sections of the school. Area health departments issued hot weather health warnings called "code red" to alert and assist the elderly.

In Philadelphia search teams went looking for the homeless. In Delaware County fans were distributed to the elderly. PECO Energy

reported the highest power usage of the year, about 40 percent above normal. The strain on electrical systems caused about 20,000

homes and businesses to lose power, more than half in Montgomery County after a power substation failed.

Highest temperatures during this hot spell included 98 degrees at the Franklin Institute within Philadelphia, Springfield (Delaware

County) and Green Lane (Montgomery County), 97 degrees in Hamburg (Berks County) and Easton (Northampton County), 96

degrees in Reading (Berks County) and Neshaminy Falls (Bucks County), 95 degrees at the Philadelphia International Airport,

Pottstown (Montgomery County) and Doylestown (Bucks County), 94 degrees at the Lehigh Valley International Airport, the Willow

Grove NAS (Montgomery County), Perkasie (Bucks County) and East Stroudsburg (Monroe County), 93 degrees at the

another house in Bath. In Nazareth, fallen trees crushed a pickup and a camper and several utility poles were split in two. Easton was

hard hit with about 25 calls of downed trees and wires. One eastbound lane of U.S. Route 22 was closed for several hours when part

of a tree fell onto the roadway. Other municipalities that reported wind damage included Bethlehem, Palmer Township, Northampton

and Walnutport Boroughs. Nickel size hail also fell in Walnutport. About 7,500 homes and businesses throughout the Lehigh Valley

Drought

0900EST

2359EST

PAZ054>055- Carbon - Monroe - Berks - Lehigh - Northampton - Chester - Montgomery - Bucks - Delaware -

Unseasonably dry weather continued throughout the month of June across Eastern Pennsylvania. The ongoing dry weather forced the

Department of Environmental Protection to declare a drought warning in 47 counties in the commonwealth including all of Eastern

Pennsylvania. The drought began during the second half of 1998. To fully recover above normal precipitation was needed during the

winter and spring. While January had above normal precipitation, the subsequent months did not. Both May and June were

unseasonably dry. Consequently groundwater levels and streamflows at all monitoring stations were below normal and at some at

record lows for the time of year. In Chester County, groundwater levels averaged four feet below normal. Ninety percent of the

Delaware River Basin groundwater wells were below normal. The drought warning called for a ten percent voluntary reduction in

water consumption. The next day, the Susquehanna River Basin Commission declared a drought warning for the entire 27,510

square mile Susquehanna River Basin. Groundwater levels were at dangerously low levels in several counties in the lower part of the

basin.

On a county weighted average June monthly precipitation averaged between 0.7 inches in Montgomery County to 1.9 inches in

Carbon County or between 18 and 42 percent of normal. The 0.98 inches of precipitation at the Lehigh Valley International Airport

was the fourth driest on record. By the end of the month 85 percent of all soil moisture content was rated as either very short or short.

Crops were curling due to the extremely hot weather and the lack of moisture. In western and northern Berks County conditions were

described as critically dry. Farmers fear that entire crops may be lost if the region does not get significant rain in the next few weeks.

The hot weather in June also cut down on milk production as cows were not comfortable. The second cutting of hay was slow due to

the dry weather. Some farmers started to supplement feed due to poor pasture conditions.

Northeast Pennsylvania's only damage producing thunderstorms for the month came on this day as a disturbance in the upper

atmosphere raced out of the Ohio Valley and across the Pennsylvania/New York border during the afternoon. Natural daytime

heating and warm, humid air created very unstable conditions over most of the northeastern United States. Clusters of thunderstorms

moved into and continued to develop throughout the area during the mid afternoon. Initial reports of damage came from Bradford

county around 330 p.m. EDT where a porch was badly damaged and a five by eight foot section from a barn, located on South Side

Rd. in Leroy Township, was torn off. A little less than an hour later, a roof was lifted off a house in Great Bend, Susquehanna

county. Storms tracked east taking down numerous trees and powerlines in Wyoming, Wayne and Luzerne counties between 5:00 and

6:00 p.m. EDT, then ferociously struck Pike county with widespread tree damage over northern sections of the county. One mobile

home was destroyed and three others damaged in Blooming Grove.

Little rain occurred from late May through much of June. Only 3.00 inches of rain fell in Erie during the month, but of that total only

1.36 inches fell prior to the 24th of June. Scattered rains late in June brought hope for farmers but it is likely that crop yields will be

reduced even with adequate rainfall the remainder of the season. Losses due to the drought were unknown.

Two children of undetermined age were struck by lightning while playing outside. Both received only minor injuries and were

Slow moving showers and thunderstorms developed repeatedly over Beaufort and Jasper Counties. This produced 6 to over 8 inches

of rain over the affected counties. Doppler Radar estimated up to 15 inches in Jasper County, close to the Savannah River, which is

the Georgia-South Carolina border. There were actual reports on the Georgia side of the Savannah River of just over 13 inches.

Numerous roads were closed and/or washed out and water seeped into several homes and businesses.

A tornado touched down west of Murdo and went through an uninhabited farmstead tipping over a shed, moving some machinery

around, tearing up a few trees, and scattering some hay bales around. On another farm, the tornado tore apart an open fronted shed,

tipped over a wooden granary into a travel trailer, turned a combine ninety degrees, tore up some calving sheds, and snapped the tops

of many cottonwood trees. The snapped tree tops were laying in all different angles. Some power poles and lines were brought

down, leaving many in the dark for several hours. The tornado moved northeast and flipped over a semi trailer parked at a rest area

on Interstate-90 and continued north damaging some more power lines and small structures before dissipating. Path length and width

were estimated.

Heavy rains of 2 to 4 inches caused flash flooding on a creek feeding into the Grand River. At a ranch southwest of Bullhead, a wall

of water coming down the creek had moved the bunkhouse off of its foundation crushing part of it. All of the contents in the

bunkhouse were destroyed. The machine shop was washed away along with several pieces of equipment and many tools. Some

tools and equipment were found more than a mile down the creek. The pumphouse and grain bin were destroyed. A pickup was also

washed down the creek and a propane tank near the house was rolled over. A colt was picked up by the water but managed to escape.

The powerful flow of water took out several dead trees and washed them downstream. Finally, a road and a culvert were washed out

by the flash flood.

A very severe supercell thunderstorm produced a large swath of damage from the west central portion of the county near West Point

east-southeastward to near Draw. Within the damage swath, strong thunderstorm wind damaged at least 30 center-pivot irrigation

systems, snapped or blew over 350 power/utility poles, uprooted or snapped numerous trees, damaged many barns and sheds, and

blew two tractor trailers off Highway 87 south of Tahoka. Flying debris hit two people as they fled for their storm shelters, causing

minor injuries. Strong downburst wind also severely damaged two mobile homes near Draw; their occupants had left their homes for

sturdier shelter just prior to the damage. The storm also produced widespread golfball to baseball size hail throughout the southern

half of the county which resulted in at least 20 million dollars in crop damage to over 130,000 acres.

A major flood and flash flood event occurred on the Friday night, June 11 and into Saturday afternoon, June 12. Four separate

thunderstorm cells/complexes moved over Scurry County between 9pm and 2:15 am CDT Friday night with the first initial flooding

report at 9:30pm west of Snyder on Highway 180. Rain totals of 5-7 inches were common across northern Scurry County, and heavy

rains from the night of the 10th contributed to the flooding as well.

At about 1:45 am, the Department of Public Safety reported water starting to flow over U.S. 84 between Snyder and Dermott. One

more bout of heavy rain crossed over this area for the next half hour, then the storms moved off to the east.

Department of Transportation personnel were waving at people attempting to keep them from entering the flood waters, but the

drivers were not heeding this warning. A 48-year-old woman from Dallas, TX and her parents were in her sedan driving to the

northwest on U.S. Highway 84 between Snyder and Dermott. At 2:47 am they entered the flooded waters 8.1 miles northwest of

Snyder. The rushing waters were 2-3 feet deep running across the highway from Northeast to southwest. The car was pushed from

the left lane into the center median that separates the northbound and southbound traffic of this four lane highway. The car

disappeared into the waters in the median. The parents of the woman were rescued by a man in a following vehicle, but the woman

could not be saved. Waters continued to rise for a short while later. Flooding on the highway receded about 5am. This highway was

closed from Roscoe to Post until 11:15 am.

Later in the morning more showers developed in Scurry County that caused additional minor flooding and thunderstorms developed

in the afternoon in Dawson and Borden Counties that moved across the southern parts of Scurry County as well. Flash flooding was

popping up for an extended period of time in several sections of the county.

Deep Creek was above flood stage in the city of Snyder, cresting at 15.5 feet on Saturday morning, 4.5 feet above flood stage. One

business and one house were flooded by rising waters. The running water also broke apart some asphalt on 26th St., and some

bridges in town were flooded.

the northeastern sections (mostly in Scurry County). A storm that developed on the Texas South Plains became a supercell in Lynn

County, TX (see Lubbock section of this publication) after crossing a surface boundary that stretched from Big Spring to west of

Tahoka. This monstrous storm turned right and headed into northwestern Borden County and eventually into Scurry County. As it

entered Borden County it collided with smaller thunderstorm cells resulting in less organization over all. The structure still held

together enough to cause large hail near the updraft and damaging winds on the rear-flank downdraft.

Other cells formed on flanks of this storm and on the original boundary allowing parts of Scurry County to get pounded several times

overnight leading to Flash Flooding and River Flooding. Benefits of the heavy rains were that Lake J.B. Thomas rose 15 feet during

the event, from 4% capacity to 20% capacity. The last time the lake was this high was in 1994.

estimated 15 feet in depth, while at the U.S. 285 crossing the normal 2 foot depth was occurring. By 730 pm the Highway 285

crossing was 6 feet deep and by 930 pm was flooding the highway with one foot of water. This flooding continued until

approximately 230 am. The width of this flooding across the highway was about 1500-2000 feet.

This flood wave worked its way to the north toward the Pecos River and caused flash flooding on FM 1450 and FM 1776.

When the flood wave crested along FM 1450 there was flooding for a 5-6 mile stretch. A few miles north of FM 1450 the waters ran

A difluent flow in the upper levels, a very tropical air mass in the lower and mid levels, and weak mid-level steering winds all

contributed for a flash flood evening in the Permian Basin. Early convection started as several pockets of multicell storms, but later

all of the storms formed into an MCS that marched slowly to the east. A cyclonic circulation developed within the MCS that allowed

the southern convection to move fairly quickly to the east, whereas in the comma head of this rotation little eastward progress was

made. In parts of Martin County the stratiform precipitation was continuous for over 4 hours.

This day saw an air mass rich in tropical moisture with a weak cap. Deep convection started in the late morning. Storms were

generally outflow dominated in the afternoon and sent out numerous outflow boundaries. Some of these boundaries may have served

as a focus for the organized development later in the evening.

An upper level disturbance interacted with copious amounts of Pacific moisture from Hurricane Adrian, located south of Baja

Mexico, to produce late evening thunderstorms in Southeast New Mexico. These storms moved south from Eddy county into Reeves

county and dropped very heavy rain near Orla. Radar indicated rainfall rates of 2 inches per hour. High water was reported in Orla

just after midnight CST, with a car caught in rising water at FM 652 and County road 457 twenty minutes later. The occupants were

rescued.

High pressure was the dominant weather feature across Northern Virginia during the month. This weather pattern directed rain

producing low pressure systems north of the region and continued the climatological drought that has gripped the area since last

summer. By the last week of June, the Palmer Drought Index, a measure of long term drought conditions, indicated Northern

Virginia was in a severe drought. June was the 8th month in the past 12 months that precipitation was below normal. From July 1998

through June 1999 precipitation was a staggering 15 inches below average, the 3rd driest 12 months on record. Only 3.00 inches of

rain fell at Dulles International Airport during the month of June, 0.92 inches below normal. Reagan National Airport in Arlington

reported a monthly total of 2.26 inches, 1.12 inches below normal. Measurable rain only fell on 8 days during the month, with 1.32

inches of the total falling on the 14th. Additional June rainfall totals included Frederick County at 2.2 inches, Shenandoah and

Madison County at 1.0 inches, Warren County at 1.4 inches, Rockingham at 0.7 inches, Page County at 1.6 inches, Clark County at

1.9 inches, Orange and Nelson County at 0.8 inches, Augusta and Fauquier County at 1.3 inches, Highland County at only 0.4 inches,

Culpeper County at 1.6 inches, Rappahannock County at 1.1 inches, Loudoun County at 2.3 inches, and Fairfax County at 2.5 inches.

The lack of rainfall affected water levels along the Potomac River, the main water source for extreme Northern Virginia. The flow of

water past Washington D.C. hovered around 18% of average, and many new record low daily flows were recorded in upstream

tributaries of the river. Unusually high proportions of river flow, 33%, were diverted out of the Potomac River into public water

supplies during the month. The normal diversion rate is about 5%. Monthly flow rates of the Potomac River have been below

average for the last 10 months. Flows in the Potomac, Shenandoah, and Rappahannock basins, were equal to or slightly below

minimum June daily mean flow values recorded during the 1980-82 drought. Many gaging stations reported streamflow at or below

the 90 percent exceedence, and a few reported streamflow values at or below the 95th percentile. New daily low flows were set on

the North Fork of the Shenandoah at both Cootes Store and Strasburg. Streamflow of the Rappahannock River at Fredericksburg was

only 14% of normal. Streamflow of the Rapidan River at Culpeper was only 20% of normal. Fish kills were reported on the North

Fork and main Stem of the Shenandoah River from the buildup of algae and low water levels. The volume of water entering the

Occoquan Reservoir was the smallest since record keeping began 71 years ago. With such low water tables, the cities of

Fredericksburg, Waynesboro, Winchester, and Berryville, and Frederick and Shenandoah Counties were forced to start voluntary

water restrictions. The community of Round Hill in Loudoun County instituted mandatory water restrictions because their reservoir

dipped below half of its 200,000 gallon capacity. Warren County considered seeking federal assistance through a drought emergency.

The community of High Knob was without water by the 17th. The Ni River Reservoir, main water source for Spotsylvania County,

dipped 16 inches below full by mid month. Beaverdam Reservoir in Loudoun County was half full, still recovering from being

drained to keep the Goose Creek Reservoir full.

The lack of precipitation also continued to beat down crops and pastureland. Watering holes and irrigation sources continued to dry

up, forcing many farmers to carry water to livestock. 68% of pasture land and 63% of hay across the state was reported in poor or

very poor condition. Hay producers reported less than half of their normal yields from their second cutting. 78% of topsoil was

reported as short or very short of moisture by the end of the month. Some farmers had to reduce their herd sizes in order to stretch

hay and water supplies. Corn crops were cut by 25% and were 12 to 14 inches shorter than normal. The alfalfa crop was cut by 30%.

Soil evaporation loss per day averaged around 0.3 inches. In addition to agricultural lands, forest and rural vegetation was also

dangerously dry. Many small fires were reported, starting from causes as unusual as a car backfiring or an overheated tractor.

High pressure centered over the Southeast U.S. caused air to downslope over the Appalachian Mountains, sending afternoon

temperatures into the upper 90s to lower 100s. The heat, in combination with very humid air, resulted in afternoon heat indices

between 100 and 100 degrees. Record high temperatures were set at Washington Reagan National Airport and Dulles International

Airport on the 7th and 8th. High temperatures on the 7th included 96 degrees at Dulles Airport, 98 degrees at National Airport, 95

degrees at Culpeper, 96 degrees at Locust Grove in Orange County, 94 degrees at Winchester, and 95 degrees at Woodstock in

Shenandoah County. Highs on the 8th included 95 degrees at Dulles Airport, 98 degrees at National Airport, 102 degrees at

Fredericksburg, 100 degrees at Fort Belvoir, and 98 degrees at Staunton. High temperatures on the 9th included 96 degrees at Dulles

Airport, 98 degrees at National Airport, 99 degrees at Culpeper, Fredericksburg and Front Royal, 96 degrees at Locust Grove, 100

degrees at Sperryville in Rappahannock County, 97 degrees at Staunton, and 98 degrees at Winchester. Nighttime lows only dipped

into the 70s, making the overnight hours very uncomfortable for those without air conditioning. As a result of the heat, a pollution

alert was issued for the Washington D.C. metropolitan area on the 7th. Schools without air conditioning in the city of Warren, Prince

William County, and the Virginia suburbs of D.C. cancelled classes or let out early on the 8th and 9th. The University of Virginia

Medical Center in Charlottesville reported treating 12 patients for heat related illnesses ranging from heat exhaustion and sunburn to

two cases of heat stroke. The heat also put a strain on area resources. Several locations reported near record water and energy

consumption during the period.

An area of showers and thunderstorms moved across Northern Virginia between 4:20 PM and 5:15 PM EDT. The strongest of these

storms moved across Fairfax and Arlington Counties, producing severe wind gusts, small hail, frequent lightning, and very heavy

downpours. A localized area in Oakton, north of Interstate 66 and south of Courthouse Road and Oleander Avenue, received a

microburst of wind over 70 MPH. The severe wind blew off the press box, damaged fences, equipment shelters, batting cages, and

blew over goal posts at an athletic field at Oakton High School. Several trees and a shed on school property were also damaged. A

couple of nearby houses lost a significant number of shingles, and one home had a window shutter blown off and an antenna bent.

This storm moved into Eastern Fairfax County, the cities of Falls Church and Alexandria, and into Arlington County and downed

several trees and power lines. One tree fell on an apartment complex on North Glebe Road and displaced several residents. Another

tree brought down wires at Route 50 and Gallows Road, disrupting rush hour traffic. From 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM EDT, 1.3 inches of

rain was reported. The downpours and clogged storm drains led to high water across the westbound lanes of Interstate 66 between

the Roosevelt Bridge and Glebe Road, forcing authorites to reroute traffic. Around 22,000 customers across Northern Virginia lost

power as a direct result of the storm.

Three inches of dime size hail accumulated in Winchester (Winnebago county) with the strongest storm. Funnel clouds were spotted

as the storm moved over Neenah (Winnebago county) and one of the funnels developed into a waterspout on Lake Winnebago, west

of Brothertown (Calumet county).

from the storms downed power poles and wires, causing more than 20,000 customers to lose electrical service. Damage to ginseng

crops and trees was reported in Wausau (Marathon county). Tree damage was also reported at Antigo (Langlade county), Wittenberg

(Shawano county), Neopit (Menominee county) and Wisconsin Rapids (Wood county). About 40 trees were "snapped off like

toothpicks" in Marshfield (Wood county). Lightning caused a fire in Rhinelander (Oneida county) that destroyed a house. Another

strike blew an electrical meter off the side of a house in Wausau. Lightning also caused a fire that resulted in heavy damage to a barn

filled with hay in the town of Sigel (Wood county).

Thunderstorms with damaging winds, heavy rains and hail struck northeast Wisconsin during the evening. Winds downed trees in

Oshkosh (Winnebago county) and near Wautoma (Waushara county) and knocked down power lines in Little Chute (Outagamie

county). Lightning knocked trees onto power lines in Oshkosh, causing 3,500 customers to lose electrical service. Lightning caused a

fire that damaged a business in Neenah (Winnebago county). Heavy rain caused street flooding from the Appleton area (Outagamie

county) south into Neenah, Menasha (Winnebago county) and Oshkosh. Water was 3 to 4 feet deep in the streets of Neenah and

Menasha. There was also some street flooding in Wautoma.

Southerly flow ahead of an approaching cold front brought plenty of moist and unstable air into Wisconsin. The cold front became

the focus for the development of severe thunderstorms that moved across central and east-central Wisconsin. Wind gusts of 60 to 70

mph toppled trees and snapped power lines, knocking out power to approximately 15,000 customers. Two barns were destroyed by

high winds west of Algoma (Kewaunee county) and Appleton (Outagamie county) lost 82 city-owned trees. Across the street from

Green Bay's Austin-Straubel Airport (Brown county), part of a tent used for concerts and other events was blown down by winds in

excess of 60 mph. Lightning caused a fire that destroyed a house in Green Bay.

A significant change in the upper level pattern to a more southwesterly flow allowed tropical-like moisture to return to southern

Wisconsin in conjunction with an upper level shortwave trough. The result was the first severe weather outbreak across southern

Wisconsin since May 16, 1999. A series of upper level shorwaves contintued to move through the Great Lakes region during the

remainder of the week into the weekend of of June 12-13, 1999. These shortwaves resulted in additional rounds of severe weather

across southcentral and southeast Wisconsin.

On June 6th, scattered severe storms eventually became orientated in short lines that produced 2 tornadoes, 10 gustnadoes (classified

as thunderstorm wind damage), 3 funnel clouds, hail up to the size of golfballs, damaging straight-line downburst winds up to 80

mph, and isolated torrential rainfalls of around 1 inch within 20 to 30 minutes. In Evansville (Rock Co.), 1/2 inch rain fell within 10

minutes along with large hail. In addition, two people were injured by lightning strikes. Otherwise, numerous large trees and power

lines were toppled by the powerful thunderstorm winds.

A weak (F0) tornado briefly touched down on the northwest side of Lake Mills (the body of water), Jefferson County, uprooting and

snapping large trees, but not causing any other damage. Another weak (F1) tornado spun up just southwest of the intersection of

Oakdale and Skyline roads northwest of Big Bend (Waukesha Co.), damaging 6 homes (one had major damage), and 2 pole sheds.

This Waukesha tornado was on the ground for about 2/10 of a mile, and weakened after it crossed Oakdale Rd.

Most interestingly, the number of gustnadoes reported and verified was the greatest in recent memory. A couple of them were

captured on video tape. Several of them resulted in tree damage, and all ten were classified as thunderstorm wind damage.

Locations of gustnadoes were: 1) Rock county...Orfordville; Walworth County...3NW Darien, 1W Delevan, Millard, and 1NW East

Troy; Waukesha County...3.5W Muckwonago, 1WNW North Prairie, and 2 of them 2SW Harland; Washington County...3SW West

Bend on Little Cedar Lake. The Little Cedar Lake gustnado actually spun up on the water surface (gustspout?!?!) and then moved

onshore, damaging a pier and uprooting a couple trees before disspating. It was observed by a trained spotter. Another trained

spotter found themselve briefly inside one of the gustnadoes southwest of Hartland! The fact that so many gustnadoes were plainly

visibile can be partially attributed to significant amounts of dust and dirt that were picked up off nearby farm fields. The was made

possible by dry weather during the preceeding 3 weeks coupled with late planting (little vegetation) of some fields.

Other notable damage reports included: a motorhome was blown onto State Highway 14 near Evansville (Rock Co.), injuring two

people; a home in Hebron (Jefferson Co.) was damaged by a wind-toppled tree, while northeast of Hebron a barn was damaged by

fallen trees; a pontoon boat was blown 500 feet near Elkhorn (Walworth Co.); a construction trailer west/northwest of North Prairie

(Waukesha Co.) was rolled over and damaged by a gustnado; in Brookfield (Waukesha Co.) a construction trailer was damaged after

strong thunderstorm winds flipped it over, while elsewhere in Brookfield a toppled tree damaged a home; in Germantown

(Washington Co.)... a home had it gutters and shingles damaged while one of its windows was blown in; just west of Claladenio

(Racine Co.) a truck was flipped over by strong thunderstorm winds, and a four block area on Milwaukee's west side suffered an

intense wet microburst that damaged 14 homes, 17 vehicles, uprooted 100 trees, and knocked over a few power lines.

The second round (June 8th) of severe weather across southcentral and southeast Wisconsin during the week wasn't as widespread as

that on June 6th. Nonetheless, there were scattered clusters of severe storms that dumped large hail and/or generated strong

downburst winds that toppled large trees and powerlines. Large hail damaged 20 vehilces and stripped several trees clean from

Lowell to Juneau (Dodge Co.). In addition, torrential rains resulted in isolated flash flooding or urban/small stream flooding. Flash

flooding (soil erosion and gravel shoulder washouts) occurred in Baraboo (Sauk Co.) after 3/4 inch of rain fell in 20 minutes on top of

a saturated ground. Water levels on some streets reach 1 to 3 feet in depth.

damaging thunderstorm wind reports were common (large trees knocked over), as well as isolated flash flooding or urban/small

stream flooding. In addition, 3 people were injured in Elkhorn (Walworth Co.) when lightning struck nearby. Torrential rains of 1 to

2 inches within 1 to 2 hours, on top of saturated soil, hit the Rock Springs to Leland area in Sauk County. A road near Leland was

washed out by the flood waters. Excessive rainfall also generated urban-type flooding in the Columbus (Columbia Co.) area in which

water was 4 to 6 inches deep on some roads. Just west of Beaver Dam (Dodge Co.), 2.5 inches of rain fell in only 45 minutes,

resulting in urban-type flooding. Water levels on some roads ranged from 6 inches to 1 foot. Flash flooding hit the south side of the

city of Milwaukee (Milwaukee Co.) after 2 to 3 inches of rain fell within 1.5 hours. Several cars were reported to be "floating" down

the streets and some were flipped over. Urban/small stream flooding occurred north of Ladoga (Fond du Lac Co.) along and near

Highway 26, after 1 to 2 inches fell in a 2 hour period. Powerful downburst winds blew 2 cars and a semi-tractor trailer off Interstate

43 near Elkhorn (Walworth Co.). Later on, powerful thunderstorm winds flipped yet another semi off Interstate 43 near Delavan

(Walworth Co.). The driver was injured.

The 4th round of severe weather during the week occurred on June 11th. Fortunately, it was not widespread. Small clusters of severe

thunderstorms dumped large hail and flooding rains, and generated powerful, damaging winds. Besides large hail, 1.35 inches of rain

fell in 1 hour in Richmond (Walworth Co.). In addition to damaging winds in the Sussex to New Berlin (Waukesha Co.) area, hail up

to 3/4 inch in diameter was noted. Two people were injured after being struck by lightning at the Plymouth Rock Camp Grounds

(Sheboygan Co.).

After experiencing several round of moderate to heavy rains during the week of June 6-12, parts of southcentral and southeast

Wisconsin suffered yet another round of heavy rains on June 13th. The result was widespread flooding of rivers, streams, creeks, and

urban areas. Many roads were closed, and there were several cases of soil erosion, road shoulder washouts. As always, many

basements sustained damage to personal property. Estimated property damage for each county was $100,000 for Green Co.,

$125,000 for Walworth Co., $150,000 for Racine Co., $300,000 for Kenosha Co., $75,000 for Waukesha Co., and $150,000 for

Milwaukee Co.

Up to 1.5 inches fell in eastern Green County, resulting in closed roads in the Albany, Brooklyn, and Brodhead areas. The Sugar

River at Brodhead (Green Co.), crested at 7.00 feet at 0745CST on June 15th, or 2 feet above flood stage. At this location it was

above flood stage from 2030CST on June 13th through 1545CST on June 16th.

Anywhere from 3.1 to 4.1 inches of rain fell over the eastern parts of Waukesha and Walworth Counties, southern Milwaukee

County, and Kenosha and Racine Counties in an 18-hour period from 0000CST to 1800CST. Most of it fell within a couple hours

either side of 1100CST. In eastern Waukesha County, the cities of Elm Grove, Brookfield, and New Berlin had the worst flooding. In

Milwaukee County, the deep tunnel system overflowed, basements were flooded, the Hale Interchange on I-94 was closed, and

Summerfest on the lakefront did not open. A walk-bridge over the Menomonee River in Wauwatosa was washed away by the flood

waters.

The Fox River in western Racine and western Kenosha County flooded at levels not seen for 12 years. Seventy-five homes were

evacuated in the villages Salem, Silver Lake, and Wheatland in Kenosha County. Many cars stalled in rushing water that reached a

depth of 3 to 4 feet on some roads. Several roads were closed, and some residents had to be rescued from their homes because the

water was rising 1 inch per hour on the Fox River. In Burlington (Racine Co.), all city parks were completely flooded, and serious

soil erosion in a couple new housing developments was noted. Due to the heavy rains in the Fox River watershed, the Fox River at

New Munster (Kenosha Co.) eventually crested at 13.68 feet at 0215CST on June 15th, or 3.68 feet over flood stage. The flooding

was characterized as "moderate." The river at this location was above flood stage from 1700CST on June 12th through 1700CST on

June 22nd.

Deep tropical moisture, pooled near a frontal boundary, resulted in two separate rounds of thunderstorms across southcentral and

southeast Wisconsin. The 1st round consisted primarily of heavy rains and urban/small stream flooding. The 2nd round consisted of

primarily large hail and heavy rains, although a wet microburst did generate powerful winds which levelled some large trees in

Packwaukee (Marquette Co.) and Green Lake (Green Lake Co.).

In the couple hours just after 0000CST, small clusters of thunderstorms, moving slowly east at 15 mph, dumped heavy rains in

scattered areas. Estimated rainfall totals based on WSR-88 Doppler radar were in the 1 to 2 inch range within 1 to 1.5 hours. The

result was urban street flooding in Janesville (Rock Co.), Delavan (Walworth Co.), and Silver Lake (Kenosha Co.). Water was

reported to be 4 to 8 inches deep on some roads. During the afternoon hours it was the same story when urban flooding was reported

in Madison and Marshall (Dane Co.), and in the city of Milwaukee (Milwaukee Co.). At the NWS Forecast office 3SE of Sullivan

(Jefferson Co.), 1.14 inches fell in 20 minutes! A total of 1.14 inches fell in 1 hour in Wauwatosa (Milwaukee Co.), and 1.42 inches

in 30 minutes near the intersection of Capitol Drive and the Milwaukee River north of downtown Milwaukee.

The Saffir-Simpson Scale

Category One Hurricane:

Winds 74-95 mph (64-82 kt or 119-153 kph). Storm surge generally 4-5 ft above normal. No real damage to

building structures. Damage primarily to unanchored mobile homes, shrubbery, and trees. Some damage to

poorly constructed signs. Also, some coastal road flooding and minor pier damage.

Category Two Hurricane:

Winds 96-110 mph (83-95 kt or 154-177 kph). Storm surge generally 6-8 feet above normal. Some roofing

material, door, and window damage of buildings. Considerable damage to shrubbery and trees with some trees

blown down. Considerable damage to mobile homes, poorly constructed signs, and piers. Coastal and low-

lying escape routes flood 2-4 hours before arrival of the hurricane center. Small craft in unprotected

anchorages break moorings.

Category Three Hurricane:

Winds 111-130 mph (96-113 kt or 178-209 kph). Storm surge generally 9-12 ft above normal. Some structural

damage to small residences and utility buildings with a minor amount of curtainwall failures. Damage to

shrubbery and trees with foliage blown off trees and large tress blown down. Mobile homes and poorly

constructed signs are destroyed. Low-lying escape routes are cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of

the hurricane center. Flooding near the coast destroys smaller structures with larger structures damaged by

battering of floating debris. Terrain continuously lower than 5 ft above mean sea level may be flooded inland

8 miles (13 km) or more. Evacuation of low-lying residences with several blocks of the shoreline may be

required.

Category Four Hurricane:

Winds 131-155 mph (114-135 kt or 210-249 kph). Storm surge generally 13-18 ft above normal. More

extensive curtainwall failures with some complete roof structure failures on small residences. Shrubs, trees,

and all signs are blown down. Complete destruction of mobile homes. Extensive damage to doors and

windows. Low-lying escape routes may be cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of the hurricane center.

Major damage to lower floors of structures near the shore. Terrain lower than 10 ft above sea level may be

flooded requiring massive evacuation of residential areas as far inland as 6 miles (10 km).

Category Five Hurricane:

Winds greater than 155 mph (135 kt or 249 kph). Storm surge generally greater than 18 ft above normal.

Complete roof failure on many residences and industrial buildings. Some complete building failures with

small utility buildings blown over or away. All shrubs, trees, and signs blown down. Complete destructon of

mobile homes. Severe and extensive window and door damage. Low-lying escape routes are cut by rising

water 3-5 hours before arrival of the hurricane center. Major damage to lower floors of all structures located

less than 15 ft above sea level and within 500 yards of the shoreline. Massive evacuation of residential areas

on low ground within 5-10 miles (8-16 km) of the shoreline may be required.

The Fujita Scale

F-Scale Intensity Wind Speed

(mph)

Typical Damage

F0 Gale Tornado 40 - 72 Some damage to chimneys; breaks

branches off trees; pushes over

shallow-rooted trees; damages sign

boards.

F1 Moderate 73 - 112 The lower limit is the beginning of

hurricane wind speed; peels surface

off roofs; mobile homes pushed off

foundations or overturned; moving

autos pushed off the roads; attached

garages may be destroyed.

F2 Significant 113 - 157

Considerable damage. Roofs torn

off frame houses; mobile homes

demolished; boxcars pushed over;

large trees snapped or uprooted;

light object missiles generated.

F3 Severe 158 - 206 Roof and some walls torn off well

constructed houses; trains

overturned; most trees in fores

uprooted

F4 Devastating 207 - 260 Well-constructed houses leveled;

structures with weak foundations

blown off some distance; cars

thrown and large missiles

generated.

F5 Incredible 261 - 318 Strong frame houses lifted off

foundations and carried

considerable distances to

disintegrate; automobile sized

missiles fly through the air in

excess of 100 meters; trees

debarked; steel re-inforced concrete

structures badly damaged.

F6 Inconceivable 319 - 379 These winds are very unlikely. The

small area of damage they might

produce would probably not be

recognizable along with the mess

produced by F4 and F5 wind that

would surround the F6 winds.
