[californiadisasters] On This Date In California Weather History (April 11)



2013: Minimum temperatures in the San Joaquin Valley remained mild in the morning hours due to a recent warm spell, and cloud cover that persisted during the overnight hours
inhibited radiational cooling.

2012: Thunderstorms brought 1" diameter (quarter-size) hail to Hanford and Traver and numerous reports of pea-size or larger hail to these locations, as well as Lemoore.
Four severe thunderstorm warnings were issued for these areas.
Roads were briefly impassible (including highway 99) where hail covered 2"-3" of ground,
including northeast of Hanford and around Traver.

1999: San Jose only had a high of 52° F. 

1996: A mountain wave rotor generated wind gusts of 76 mph at Mojave in the early morning hours taking down power poles and blowing the roof of a mobile home.
In nearby Rosamond, 49 power poles were downed and a window broke on a store.
A number of homes lost shingles in California City and a small shed was lifted airborne here in addition to fences being knocked over.

1982: A combination of snowmelt and rainfall caused the Merced River to overflow it's banks and flood parts of Yosemite Valley damaging parts of the Headquarters building and washing out parts of a road.

1965: A cold late-season storm that started on 4.7 and ended on 4.11 brought heavy rainfall and snowfall to the region.
