 A low pressure system along the West Coast was expected to bring rain and high-elevation snow to the Intermountain West, the Cascades and the Sierra Nevadas. High wind was anticipated in the Sierras and southern Cascades.
Another low pressure system over the Great Lakes was expected to slide southeastward toward the Ohio Valley, producing showers and scattered thunderstorms from the Southeast through the Northeast. Significant rain was forecast for the Great Lakes.
Cold air sinking into the Mississippi and Ohio valleys was expected to bring welcome relief to a region suffering through a fall heat wave.
Portions of the Southeast were forecast to rise into the 80s and 90s, while the Northeast was to see temperatures in the 60s and 70s. The Great Lakes were expected to rise into the 40s and 50s, while the Northwest was to see temperatures in the 60s in the lower elevations. The Southwest was forecast to rise into the 80s, 90s and 100s.
Temperatures in the lower 48 states on Tuesday ranged from a low of 19 degrees at Wisdom, Mont., to a high of 99 degrees at Roosevelt, Ariz.
