Weather Summary
Weather Underground midday recap for Wednesday, August 20, 2008. Tropical Storm Fay continued to lash Florida with heavy rain and strong tropical storm force winds on Wednesday. The precipitation associated with the storm prompted flooding for hundreds of residents in Florida. After moving off the east coast of Florida, the storm was expected to take a turn to the northwest before making another landfall Thursday morning as a tropical storm. This system will continue to be closely monitored over the next few days. For more information, please go to http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/.
Meanwhile, deep moisture streamed into the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley and instigated widespread moderate to heavy rain along with thunderstorms.
Moist flow also penetrated into the Northwest and Intermountain West and promoted showers from Washington and Oregon through the panhandle of Idaho.
High pressure that was expected to steer Fay back into Florida also kept dry conditions through New England.
The Northeast rose into the 70s, while the Southeast saw temperatures in the 80s and 90s. The Northern Plains rose into the 70s and 80s, while the Southwest saw temperatures in the 90s and some 100s.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Wednesday have ranged from a morning low of 30 degrees at Mt. Washington, N.H. to a midday high of 105 degrees at Needles, Calif.
