The Nation's Weather 08.25.08

By WEATHER UNDERGROUND

The remains of tropical storm Fay were expected to continue to drench the Southeast on Monday with the storm center remaining relatively stationary. Fay's rains were to soak some of the most drought ridden locations in the Southeast, helping refill the region's dwindling water supply.

However, flooding was likely to become a problem throughout northern Georgia and Alabama as Fay was expected to dump more than 8 inches of rain on the region this week.

Rain was also to fall north of Fay. Clouds and thunderstorms were forecast in the Northeast, and some thunderstorms were possible in the afternoon, especially in the southern regions.

The Great Lakes and Northern Plains were to see beautiful weather. Temperatures in the Plains were to be warm while the Great Lakes were to be a bit cooler.

In the West, wet weather was expected in regions west of the Cascades in Washington and Oregon. The southern Rockies were also to see some wet weather.

Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Sunday ranged from a low of 26 degrees at Stanley, Idaho, to a high of 120 degrees at Death Valley, Calif.
