Thunderstorms were expected to roll across the Appalachians in the afternoon and soak the East Coast by evening, while the southern Plains should remain seasonably warm with clear skies. Forecasters said a few twisters were possible, but nothing like the widespread outbreak of severe weather that occurred Wednesday and Thursday. Heavy rain could trigger flooding along small creeks and streams in New England.
The low pressure causing all the trouble in the Northeast was expected to usher chilly air into the Plains and the East. Temperatures were forecast to fall significantly in the lower Mississippi Valley.
Wet weather was to continue across Washington and Oregon as a powerful Pacific storm forces its way ashore near the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Heavy rain was anticipated into Idaho and Montana as well as northern Nevada.
Temperatures in the lower 48 states on Thursday ranged from a low of 12 degrees at Monarch Pass, Colo., to a high of 98 degrees at Falfurrias, Texas.
