The nation's weather         

[June 15, 2007]  (AP) A cold front pushing eastward across the nation was expected to bring showers and thunderstorms to a large portion of the East, while clear skies were forecast for the Plains, the Rockies and the West Coast.

Most of the thunderstorms and rain were forecast for east of the Mississippi River, though morning showers were expected in Texas and Louisiana. Severe weather was possible from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, but the strongest storms were forecast for the Midwest and the Great Lakes region.

Temperatures were expected to cool considerably after the thunderstorms passed.

High pressure building in the Plains was expected to bring clear skies to the nation's midsection and much of the West. Temperatures there were expected to continue warming slowly, except along the coast, where a return of onshore winds and fog was to keep temperatures suppressed.

Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Thursday ranged from a low of 20 degrees at Mammoth Lakes, Calif., to a high of 105 degrees at Laredo, Texas.
