...ON THIS DATE IN WEATHER HISTORY...



In 1988, an early season winter storm produced high

winds from the Great Plains to New England and heavy snow

in Northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan.  Gusts reached

64 mph in Knoxville Tennessee and 80 mph at Pleasant

Valley Vermont.

In 1961, strong Santa Ana winds in California fanned the

flames of the Brentwood and Bel Air fires.  Many homes

were destroyed.  At 10 PM, the Los Angeles Civic Center

had a temperature of 74 degrees, with a dew point of 5

degrees.  The relative humidity in Burbank was 3 percent

on the 6th.  This shows how extremely dry it was, and how

quickly fires can spread under these circumstances.
