[August 21, 2007] (AP) A low-pressure system pushing through the upper Mississippi Valley was forecast to bring showers and thunderstorms from the Midwest to southern New England and the northern Mid-Atlantic on Tuesday.

Strong to severe storms were likely to develop across the central Plains and upper Mississippi Valley, with large hail and damaging winds posing the biggest threat.

A ridge of high pressure was expected to keep northern New England mostly dry. Temperatures were forecast to fall into the lower 30s early Tuesday, causing widespread frost and freezing conditions.

Elsewhere, a Pacific system off the Northwest coast was expected to bring light rain to the Pacific Northwest and parts of the northern Rockies. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms were to linger along the western Gulf Coast and southern Florida Peninsula.

A very warm day was forecast for the southern half of the nation. Temperatures were expected to be mainly in the 90s, with the Southwest soaring into the 100s.

Temperatures in the lower 48 states Monday ranged from a low of 28 degrees at Stanley, Idaho, to a high of 114 degrees at Death Valley, Calif.
