 Although Fay was expected to weaken further, rain and flooding were predicted to continue in the Southeast. Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, Georgia, eastern Tennessee and the Carolinas were forecast to get 3 to 5 more inches of rain, although 10 inches was possible in isolated spots. The threat for severe weather, however, was expected to decrease.
A strong late summer weather system in the West and associated cold front were expected to usher in cooler temperatures across the Northwest. High, dry winds accompanying the cold front were likely to cause fire danger from Nevada into the northern Plains.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms were forecast to develop over the northern and central Plains as the cold front approaches, then slip into the upper Midwest on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Nebraska and South Dakota could see large hail and damaging winds.
Elsewhere, monsoonal thunderstorms were forecast to persist across the Four Corners region, while fair conditions were expected across the Northeast and Great Lakes, where temperatures were predicted to remain in the 70s.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states on Monday ranged from a low of 27 degrees at Embarrass, Minn., to a high of 121 degrees at Death Valley, Calif.
