[November 09, 2010]  (AP)  A strengthening storm off the East Coast was forecast to continue sending clouds and occasional showers back to the coast Tuesday.

The majority of precipitation from this storm was expected to fall on the eastern end of Long Island and north around Cape Cod, although the northern portion of Maine could see more snow accumulation as the storm is slow to move. Temperatures would also remain cool throughout the region as northerly winds draw Canadian air southward.

In addition to the rain clouds and cold weather, the storm would likely send large waves to the beaches along the East Coast.

Across the Appalachian mountains, a different weather picture was forecast to unfold, with warmer weather and clear skies anticipated. High pressure centered in the Midwest would keep the region under an umbrella of protection, forcing storms to track to the north.

In the Rockies, a storm was expected to butt up against the protective high and stall out a little bit. With a limited amount of moisture to work with, snowfall from the storm wasn't expected to cause many problems.

Along the West Coast, a potent Pacific storm was forecast to approach the Northwest, eventually moving ashore with heavy precipitation from Canada to the San Francisco Bay Area.

Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Monday ranged from a low of 17 degrees at Gunnison, Colo., to a high of 87 degrees at Pecos, Texas.
