A stationary front combined with moist east winds was expected to bring showers and thunderstorms to the Florida Peninsula, while the southeast portion of the state braced for rain as Tropical Storm Noel headed toward the Bahamas.
Forecasters said a tropical storm watch, which means that tropical storm conditions are possible within 36 hours, may be issued later in the day.
The Pacific front that pushed ashore Monday was expected to continue moving eastward, producing showers and thunderstorms from southern Oregon and Northern California to the Intermountain West and northern Rockies. High-elevation snow was forecast.
Cooler air was expected to filter in after the cold front, spreading temperatures in the 40s and 50s in the Northwest and northern Plains. Temperatures in the 50s were also forecast for northern New England. The warmest region was expected to be over the desert Southwest, where afternoon temperatures were forecast mainly in the 80s and some lower 90s.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states on Monday ranged from a low of 19 degrees at Gunnison, Colo., to a high of 98 degrees at Gila Bend, Ariz.
