A frontal system moved through southern New England with the warm front moving through first and increasing low level moisture.  Then the cold front moved through providing a lifting mechanism for showers and thunderstorms to develop.  High levels of moisture contributed to heavy downpours that resulted in flash flooding in Rhode Island and portions of Massachusetts.  All of this coupled with strong wind shear (turning of the winds with height) over southeast Massachusetts and Rhode Island provided the perfect environment for a tornado to form.
This particular tornado began as a waterspout over Narragansett Bay and traveled east-northeast reaching land over the southern portion of Warren, Rhode Island.  The tornado continued for 4.2 miles into Swansea, Massachusetts over a mostly continuous track.  Most of the damage sustained was to trees which fell on power lines and houses.  This tornado was rated by a National Weather Service damage survey team as an EF1 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.

A National Weather Service Damage Survey team concluded that an EF-1 tornado affected portions of eastern Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts.  A waterspout was observed from Barrington Beach and moved to just off Rumstick Point in Barrington, Rhode Island.  This waterspout moved onto land over the southern portion of Warren near the Warren/Bristol line near Hanley Farm Road.  It then continued eastward through the Touisset Highlands section of Warren and into the Ocean Grove section of Swansea.
The waterspout was first observed just before 4:00PM EDT.  The tornado hit Warren at 4:05PM EDT and Swansea at 4:10PM EDT.  No injuries were reported.

August finally marked the first substantial rainfall for the Central Tennessee Valley since we entered into the heart of the drought in early 2006.  The month began rather uneventfully with a series of mainly dry cold fronts.  The parade of cold fronts was stopped just after mid-month as Tropical Storm Fay approached Florida.  No measurable rain was observed between the 13th and 23rd although Huntsville reported trace amounts on six of those eleven days.  The big rainmaker was Tropical Storm Fay, which brought between two and eight inches of rain to the area.
For most of the Tennessee Valley, this was the first substantially above-normal rainfall month of 2008, and in Huntsville, the first since October 2006 that was above normal at all.  The calendar day total of 2.19 inches from August 25th was also the most rainfall to occur in a calendar day since November 15th, 2006.
River base-flow actually increased as a result of Fay in North Central and Northeast Alabama, the first sign of improvement in stream-flows from the drought.  Deep groundwater also recovered to near average, and soil moisture reached near average levels for the first time in about two years.
Drought conditions were generally status-quo during the month, with D2 /Severe Drought/ to D3 /Extreme Drought/ reported in central and eastern portions of north Alabama. Some improvement was noted at the end of the month as a result of Fay, limiting /D2/ conditions to only Jackson and DeKalb Counties.

The partial remnants of Tropical Depression Dolly, which impacted the lower Texas Gulf Coast, ushered copious amount of deep tropical moisture into the central plains and Midwest on July 30, 2008. As an upper level storm system from the central Rockies interacted with Dolly's remnants, numerous showers and thunderstorms developed across eastern Kansas. The slow movement of the storm system, coupled with the training and back building individual cells, set the stage for very heavy rainfall and flooding. Widespread amounts of 2 to 4 inches were noted over eastern Kansas. A flash flood warning was needed in Johnson County. In addition, several rivers responded to the rainfall, prompting several river flood warnings to be issued.

A strong cold front moved through Western and Central Arizona Christmas night through the afternoon of December 26th. A variety of winter weather moved across the area including heavy snow, blowing snow, drifting snow, strong winds, and heavy rain in the lower elevations. Some warm air was pulled into the state ahead of the front...this caused snow levels to be higher than what was originally expected. Much of the heavier snow fell above 7500 feet...with a mix of rain...sleet...and snow from 6500-7000 feet. However...very strong winds also accompanied this front...causing severe blowing and drifting snow...as well as reduced visibility. Some roofs collapsed in the Flagstaff area from the weight of accumulated snow and ice.

Drought in FRANKLIN, TENNESSEE
From 01-OCT-08 00:00:00 to 27-OCT-08 23:59:00 (CST-6)
Reported by: Other Federal Agency
A negatively titled upper trough moved northeast over eastern Kansas during the afternoon hours bringing thunderstorm activity over much of the Topeka county warning area.  Instability was quite limited, so only weak convection developed over the area, however some of the stronger storms were able to mix 45 to 50 kt low level jet winds down to the surface.  There was one report of winds above 50 kts, where some two to three inch diameter tree limbs were broken.  No other damage occurred in this fairly benign event.
