Strong to severe storms packing large hail and damaging winds were expected to develop over parts of the Deep South. Flooding was possible along the Mississippi River.
After several days of unseasonably cold temperatures, the West was expected to warm up, though a storm was approaching the Northwest. Coastal rain and higher elevation snow was forecast to develop from Northern California to western Washington during the day and spread into the Intermountain West and central California at night. Heavier rain was anticipated in the coastal ranges of Oregon and Northern California.
In the East, a low pressure system off the Carolinas was to continue causing rain showers and thunderstorms in the Mid-Atlantic. The rain was expected to taper off at night as the system moves southeast and dissipates.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Monday ranged from a low of minus 8 degrees at Great Falls, Mont., to a high of 98 degrees at Laredo, Texas.
