1880 (Wednesday)
Today's high of 80° came just two days after a record low of 26° (since eclipsed in 1976). This was the first reading above 64° since 3/5 (when it was 72°).
1940 (Sunday)
A trace of snow was reported for the 33rd
time this snow season, the most on record (later tied in the winter
of 1944-45). Today's high/low was 41°/30°.
1966 (Thursday)
This was the fourth day in a row with a low of 39° (five degrees below average). However, all of the days had different highs, with three in the 57°-60° range and one with a high of only 44°.
1979 (Saturday)
It was a rainy and chilly Easter Saturday. 1.10" of rain fell (ending late in the afternoon) and the high/low was 45°/40°; the high was nearly twenty degrees below average.
2014 (Monday)
This was the fourth day in a row with highs in the 70s. The average high during these days was 75°, fifteen degrees above average.
2018 (Saturday)
After the temperature peaked at 77° in the middle of the afternoon, a "back-door" cold front moved through, and by midnight the temperature had fallen to 44°. This was the greatest drop in temperature since 1/13, when it plummeted from 58° to 19°. (It was also the second biggest drop in more than four years.)
2023 (Friday)
For the second day in a row a record high was set. Today's high of 91° (thirty degrees above average) was one degree hotter than yesterday. This was just the third time in April to have two or more consecutive days with highs in the 90s. (The average date for a year's second high in the 90s is 6/9.)
Additionally, today's low of 70° was the earliest low of 70° or milder on record, besting the former record by three days (74° on April 17, 2002). Only two other dates have had lows in the 70s in April (70° on April 18, 1976 and 76° April 18, 2002). The next low in the 70s wouldn't be until 6/25.
