 On this day...
    In 1888 Residents of New York suffered through a record heat
            wave.  Daily average temperatures were above 80 degrees
            for fourteen straight days.  The heat wave was a sharp
            contrast to the severe blizzard in March of that year,
            which buried the city under nearly two feet of snow.
    In 1977 "The Human Lightning Conductor", park ranger Roy C.
            Sullivan, was struck by lightning for the seventh
            time.  He was first hit in 1942, then again in 1970,
            1972, 1973 and 1976.
    In 1983 Record heat prevailed from Texas to Michigan.  Alpena MI
            hit 98 degrees.
    In 1985 A spectacular early morning waterspout developed at 0520
            MST from a stationary thunderstorm over the south end of
            the Great Salt Lake in Utah.  It was visible 20 miles
            away, and lasted four minutes.
    In 1987 Hot weather prevailed in the Pacific Northwest.  Highs of
            88 at Seattle WA, 103 at Medford OR, and 111 at Redding
            CA were records for the date.  Cloudy and cool weather
            prevailed in the northeastern U.S.  The high at Boston MA
            was just 60 degrees.
    In 1988 Thirteen cities in the southeastern U.S. reported record
            high temperatures for the date.  In Montana, the record
            high of 102 degrees at Billings MT was their fifteenth of
            the month, and the high of 108 degrees at Glasgow MT
            equalled their record for June.  Thunderstorms in the
            Atlantic Coast Region produced wind gusts to 102 mph at
            Tall Timbers MD.
    In 1989 Thunderstorms produced severe weather from the Central
            Plains to the Middle Mississippi Valley.  There were 129
            reports of severe weather during the day and night.
            Thunderstorms in Kansas produced wind gusts to 90 mph at
            Liberal, and hail four inches in diameter at Quinter.
            Thunderstorms in Wisconsin spawned a tornado at Lake
            Delton injuring four persons.  Lightning struck and
            killed a woman at Junction City KS who had gotten out of
            her car to photograph the lightning.
