... Today in Metro Denver weather history...

19-21 in 1875... smoke from several large Forest fires in the
        mountains was visible from the city on each of these days.
20 in 1888... northwest winds were sustained to 44 mph.
      In 1956... a microburst caused a brief wind gust to 58 mph at
        Stapleton Airport.
      In 1964... hail up to 1 inch in diameter was reported 1 mile
        north of Stapleton International Airport. A 3 minute hail
        storm at both Stapleton International Airport and Lowry
        field piled small hail to one half inch deep.
      In 1967... a strong thunderstorm dumped 1.95 inches of rain in
        less than an hour at Stapleton International Airport and
        produced a wind gust to 54 mph. The storm caused some
        flooding in east Denver and Aurora. There was widespread
        flooding to streets... basements... and store buildings and
        automobiles. Hail stones to 3/4 inch in diameter were
        measured at Buckley field in Aurora. A tornado touched
        down just south of Littleton... damaging a barn and killing
        several head of cattle.
      In 1985... a wind gust to 61 mph was reported at Golden Gate
        Canyon in the foothills west of Denver.
      In 1986... a man was killed by lightning at Highlands Ranch
        south of Denver.
      In 1987... several tornadoes were sighted across Metro
        Denver. A tornado touched down briefly 5 miles west of
        Parker. A tornado was sighted just north of Chatfield
        Reservoir. A tornado just northwest of Watkins was on the
        ground for 15 minutes. A tornado near Barr Lake was taped
        by a television news crew. It had a double vortex and was
        on the ground for about 10 minutes. In addition to the 4
        tornadoes... severe thunderstorms dumped large hail across
        Metro Denver. One inch hail was reported in southeast
