[August 07, 2007]  (AP) Thunderstorms were to spark Tuesday from Nebraska to the Great Lakes, while parts of the East Coast were to swelter in triple-digit heat or muggy, stifling air.

A low pressure system packing storms was expected to push eastward through the Upper Mississippi and Ohio valleys and the Great Lakes, with its cold front extending across the Central Plains.

Strong to severe storms, with the main threat of hail and damaging winds, were likely from parts of the Midwest into the lower Great Lakes.

Another cluster of strong to severe thunderstorms over southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois were predicted to move eastward across Lower Michigan into northwestern Ohio by Tuesday afternoon and evening.

A chance of showers and thunderstorms was anticipated along the mid-Atlantic, Southeast and eastern Gulf coasts. The Appalachians also could see storms.

Another hot day was anticipated across much of the nation, with an excessive heat wave expected to spread across the mid-Atlantic, Southeast, parts of the Mississippi, Ohio and Tennessee valleys, and Central Plains.

Temperatures in the lower 48 states on Monday ranged from a low of 30 degrees at Wisdom, Mont., to a high of 113 degrees at Bullhead City, Ariz.
