[October 17, 2007]  (AP) More wet and windy weather was forecast for the Northwest on Tuesday, while rain was falling across a large swath of the nation's midsection

Light to moderate rain and high-elevation snow was expected in the Northwest as the Pacific front that pushed ashore Monday continued to weaken and move eastward through the Intermountain West.

Another cold front approaching from the Pacific was forecast to bring moderate to heavy rain to Oregon and northern California later in the day. By Wednesday, another system was to drop down from the Gulf of Alaska, producing more rain.

A storm system continued moving eastward across the Mississippi Valley and Deep South and was expected to bring moderate to heavy rain to the upper Great Lakes. Showers and thunderstorms were forecast east of the Plains and west of the Appalachians. Thunderstorms were likely across the Ohio, Tennessee and lower Mississippi valleys.

A weak stationary front extending from the Louisiana coast to southern Florida was expected to trigger rain and scattered thunderstorms across the Gulf Coast and Florida Peninsula.

Temperatures in the lower 48 states on Monday ranged from a low of 15 degrees at Shirley Basin, Wyo., to a high of 97 degrees at Falfurrias, Texas.
