I had a few extra minutes today, so I thought I would pay tribute to the great J.B. Elliott and post “Weather By The Numbers.”
0 – Number of reported tornadoes that occurred across the United States yesterday.
1 – Number of reported tornadoes that have occurred since December 1st. An EF1 tornado touched down about 4 miles to the north-northeast of Gonzales, Louisiana, with estimated winds up to 90 MPH. The damage track was 3.5 miles long and up to 30 yards wide.
0.33 – Inches of rain that fell on Tuesday in Decatur, the highest total for the NWS reporting stations across the state.
1.40 – Inches of rain that have fallen at the Birmingham Airport since December 1st.
39.32 – Inches of rainfall that have fallen at the Birmingham Airport since January 1st.
10.94 – Inches of rainfall that Birmingham is behind at this point for 2016.
50.26 – Inches of rainfall that Birmingham normally receives at this point of the year.
72 – The high temperature recorded at Dothan for Tuesday, the warmest for the NWS reporting stations across the state.
42 – The low temperature recorded at Decatur earlier this morning, the coolest for the NWS reporting stations across the state.
90 – Temperature recorded at Stuart, Florida, on Tuesday, the warmest in the United States.
-27 – Temperature recorded at West Yellowstone, Montana, the coldest low in the United States.
That is all that I have for today. I hope you enjoy Weather By The Numbers. I also hope that J.B. would approve of my post. Hopefully we can get these back going again, as I loved to read all of the ones J.B. posted on the blog.
