Today in Weather History
1926: The lowest temperature for September in the continental United States occurred at Yellowstone. It was -9 °F.
1956: Hurricane Flossy made landfall in the panhandle of Florida and would later dump several inches of rain in North Carolina on the 26th.
2005: Hurricane Rita Landfall and tornado outbreak.
The Hurricane Rita tornado outbreak was a significant tropical cyclone-produced tornado outbreak and severe weather event that resulted from the remnants of Hurricane Rita in late-September 2005. The event was the fourth-largest tornado outbreak caused by a tropical cyclone in recorded history. After the hurricane made landfall on the extreme southwestern coast of Louisiana on September 24, the tropical cyclone’s strong rainbands affected much of the West South Central and East South Central States, producing heavy rainfall in addition to numerous tornadoes. Tornadic activity was distributed roughly evenly from September 24–25, though activity shifted slightly eastward on September 25. The severe activity ended by September 26, by which time the remnants of Hurricane Rita were absorbed by a frontal boundary.
