In the East, the cold front extending from Quebec through the Ohio and Tennessee valleys was to continue to advance eastward and move offshore Tuesday afternoon.
This front, combined with the storm system in the Tennessee Valley, was predicted to bring very active weather from the Mississippi Valley to the eastern seaboard.
Widely scattered showers and thunderstorms should continue to fire up to the east and south of the system. There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms across the Southeast and
Mid-Atlantic. A few tornadoes may occur as well.
Behind the system, light to moderate snow and freezing rain was anticipated in portions of the Mississippi and Ohio valleys and lower Great Lakes. The unsettled weather was to push into the Northeast by Wednesday.
In the West, a cold front was moving southeast across the central Great Basin, Rockies and high Plains. Much of the snowfall should remain behind the front, spreading from the northern and central Rockies to the northern Plains.
High pressure was to dominate across the West Coast and southern Plains, providing sunny and seasonal weather.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states on Monday ranged from a low of minus 12 degrees at Yellowstone, Mont., to a high of 87 degrees at Fort Myers, Fla.
