In 2008, what was, at the time, the second worst tornado outbreak on record, hit a 9-state area from the Southeast United States to the Ohio Valley. Comprised of 87 tornadoes, of which 5 were violent EF4s, the outbreak killed 57 and injured 425. It was the deadliest outbreak since the May 31, 1985 outbreak that devastated the Northeast United States and Southern Ontario when and where 76 were killed. Three tornadoes were especially noteworthy. One struck North Central Arkansas, where an EF4 killed 13. The tornado raced 122 miles across 7 counties and lasted 2 hours. The second, an EF3, hit Memphis, including part of the Airport where Federal Express service was disrupted. This tornado killed 4 and injured 36. The third was a violent EF4 that struck Jackson Tennessee. Sixty were injured and Union University was devastated. && In 1988, Roswell New Mexico was overwhelmed with an all time record-setting 16.5 inches of snow in 24 hours. Strong winds and temperatures from 10 to 20 below zero produced wind chills from 70 BELOW to 80 BELOW ZERO across the Northern Plains. $$ Auto NOUS43 KICT 051215 PNSICT KSZ032-033-047>053-067>072-082-083-091>096-098>100-052100- Public Information Statement National Weather Service Wichita KS 610 AM CST Thu Feb 05 2026 Values represent highs yesterday, lows over the last 12 hours and precipitation over the last 24 hours. : :Kansas :Temperature and precipitation stations :................................................................ : Station Max / Min / 24 hr / Snow / Snow : Name Temp/ Temp / Pcpn / Fall / Depth :................................................................ :Kansas : CNU : Chanute : 39 / 26 / 0.00 / / CFV : Coffeyville : 43 / 25 / 0.00 / / CNK : Concordia Airport : 40 / 28 / 0.00 / / DDC : DODGE CITY : 53 / 27 / T / / EHA : ELKHART AIRPORT AMO : 53 / 30 / 0.00 / / EMP : Emporia Airport : 41 / 26 / 0.00 / / GCK : GARDEN CITY : 52 / 24 / T / / GLD : Goodland : 52 / 27 / 0.00 / / GBD : Great Bend : 48 / 28 / 0.00 / / HYS : HAYS AIRPORT - AWOS : 50 / 26 / 0.00 / / HLC : Hill City Municipal : 53 / 25 / T / / HUT : Hutchinson : 46 / 27 / 0.00 / / K88 : Iola Airport : 39 / 27 / 0.00 / / OJC : Johnson County Exec : 38 / 30 / 0.00 / / LBL : LIBERAL AIRPORT - A : 54 / 24 / M / / LWC : Lawrence Airport : 39 / 24 / 0.00 / / LYO : Lyons Airport : 45 / 26 / 0.00 / / P28 : MEDICINE LODGE : 59 / 22 / M / / MHK : Manhattan Airport : 38 / 21 / M / / IXD : New Cent AirCenter : 38 / 27 / 0.00 / / EWK : Newton : 45 / 25 / 0.00 / / PTT : PRATT INDUSTRIAL AI : 54 / 25 / 0.00 / / PPF : Parsons : 42 / 23 / 0.00 / / RSL : Russell : 48 / 28 / 0.00 / / SLN : Salina : 42 / 26 / 0.00 / / TOP : Topeka Billard Arpt : 40 / 24 / 0.00 / / FOE : Topeka Forbes Field : 39 / 25 / 0.00 / / ICT : Wichita Eisenhower : 48 / 22 / 0.00 / 0.0 / 0 AAO : Wichita Jabara : 46 / 26 / 0.00 / / WLD : Winfield : 48 / 24 / T / / : State Temperature Extremes : : 59 degrees at MEDICINE LODGE : 21 degrees at Manhattan Airport : .END These data are preliminary and have not undergone final quality control by the National Centers for Environmental Information.
