Hail, Tornado, and Low Temps Hit California

A series of unusual weather events hit the city of Davis, California, on September 28 and 29, 

2019. Thunderstorms swept through the state's central part, producing dime-sized hail. A 

tornado was also spotted near the area. The tornado touched down on September 29 to the east. 

Meanwhile, gustnadoes were reported as well on the same day, near HWY 80 Westbound near 

Davis. According to Robert Shackelford, CNN Weather producer, the tornado was weaker 

then those of typical Midwestern. "California sees about 10 tornadoes a year, so this is rather rare 

for the area," he said. They are more likely to see tornadoes in the winter and spring, but it isn't 

uncommon to see tornadoes in the fall. Heavy hailstorms were reported in the area prior to the 

tornado. On Sunday morning, September 29, a record low temperature of 45 °F was 

experienced in nearby Sacramento, breaking the previous record of 46 °F in 1986.
