[May 30, 2007]  (AP) Forecasters predicted showers and thunderstorms in the central U.S. and snow showers in the Rockies on Wednesday, while the West Coast was expected to be mostly sunny.

A storm system in the central U.S. was expected to move eastward, generating showers and thunderstorms from the Plains to the Mississippi, Tennessee and Ohio Valleys. Severe thunderstorms with tornadoes, hail and damaging winds were possible.

In the Rockies, scattered rain and snow showers were expected.

Conditions were expected to be warm and sunny
-- in the 70s and 80s -- across much of the West Coast, with the exception of some cloudiness on the Southern California coast.

Temperatures in the Desert Southwest were expected to reach well into the 90s.

In the East, light rains were expected in parts of the Appalachians, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms in South Florida.

Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Tuesday ranged from a low of 20 degrees at Ely, Nev., to a high of 98 degrees at Death Valley, Calif.
