The first proposed date for WWII's D-Day was May 1st 1944. But because a team of meteorologists could not agree on the weather forecast, and more importantly, to allow the US to manufacture more landing crafts, D-Day was pushed one month later. The US Military leaders also hoped that weather would be more favorable in June.
D-Day was then set for June 5, 1944. It had to be postponed 24 hours due to bad weather.
As well, June 19th was chosen as an alternate to June 5th in case that date proved unsuitable. But, ultimately, June 19th was rejected because the US believed (knew) that if they waited too long, they would lose the advantage they had and could possibly lose the war.
Source of the May 1, 1944, May 5th, and June 19th dates: The Weather Channel, "When Weather Changed History", aired Saturday, August 14, 2010.
The original date was 5th May, then it changed a few times due to tides and weather.
