August 27th, 2008 Forecast
You can't do much better than a day where there's near wall-to-wall sunshine from Philly on north and temperatures in the middle and upper 70's. South of the city high clouds held firm for much of the day but the sun was filtering through often enough to help keep temperatures mild. This is certainly some of the best summer weather you can get if you are tired of the heat. Another day similar to this is forthcoming tomorrow.
Tonight: It will be mostly clear from Philadelphia on north with high clouds from the remnants of Fay drifting by to the south. Low temperatures will be in the 50's north, 50's to near 60 in Philadelphia on south.
Wednesday: Much like today, mostly sunny with some high clouds from time to time as the high pressure center responsible for this airmass drifts off the coast. Some high clouds could make for a pretty sunset as Fay's moisture begins to spread northeast towards the area. High temperatures tomorrow will be near 80.
Fay's leftover moisture will bring some showers to the area on Thursday, with the heaviest rains to the west and south of the area. Showers may linger into Friday before warmer and more humid air in advance of a frontal boundary moves towards us. This front will impact our Saturday weather with a chance of thunderstorms.
Early Frost In Arrowhead of Minnesota: Embarrass, MN, hit a low of 27 degrees on Monday morning as the season's first frost gripped Northeastern Minnesota and parts of Northwest Wisconsin. The frost was about two to four weeks ahead of schedule for that part of the country, which usually sees their first damaging frosts in mid-to-late September depending on location. However, the frost was not unprecedented.
“The state record low for [Aug. 25] is 25, set in 1915 in Bigfork, so you know it can happen,’’ said Pete Boulay, assistant Minnesota state climatologist in the Duluth News Tribune article. “You can pick almost every day in that part of Minnesota — even in June, July and August — and there was probably a frost somewhere at some point in the past. Minnesota only has a couple of days where the record-low temperature isn’t below freezing.’’
