2002: Cloverdale had a high temperature of 107° F.
1989: One of the most severe convective outbreaks of record in Southern California began on 8.7 and continued until 8.11, when it climaxed.
On this day a thunderstorm unloaded torrential rains on Yuma, AZ with 5.82" of rain in 24 hours, a new record for the state (remarkably the normally driest part of the state) and double the seasonal average.
Up to 1000 homes were flooded with water to 5' deep.
On this day another thunderstorm dropped 0.75" hail on Desert Hot Springs.
1970: Virginia City, NV, had a high temperature of 100° F.
1969: The high temperature at Reno, NV, was 103° F.
1954: This is the only day all month that Fresno recorded a triple digit high temperature with a high of 100° F.
This established a record for the least number of triple digit highs in the month of August in Fresno (this record was tied in August 1956).
1941: A heavy thunderstorm struck Needles.
Flash floods and debris flows damaged streets and highways.
Several motorists were stranded, but no one was hurt.
1936: A tropical cyclone tracked north northwestward across the Gulf of California with the remnants tracking northward into western Arizona.
Locally heavy rainfall occurred in the mountains surrounding Los Angeles.
