 Scattered showers, strong winds, hail and possible tornadoes were possible over the mid-Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley and Tennessee Valley. Flooding was a concern in these regions.
Tropical Storm Dolly was expected to become a hurricane by Tuesday evening. Although landfall was not expected until Wednesday, expect increasing showers and strong winds on Tuesday along the Gulf coast of Texas.
It was to be hot and humid for the rest of the Southeast, with afternoon showers and thunderstorms likely thanks to warm and moist air from the Gulf.
In the Pacific Northwest, low pressure was to kick up scattered showers and thunderstorms, which is likely to cause flooding. Moderate to heavy rainfall was expected to move through eastern Oregon.
The Southwest could see a break in the development of showers and thunderstorms on Tuesday. High pressure continues to hover over the region, but abundant moisture is not present, so storms are not likely. Expect mostly sunny skies and pleasant conditions throughout the region, with the exception of fog and low clouds along California's coast.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states on Monday ranged from a low of 35 degrees at Pahaska, Wyo., to a high of 114 degrees at Death Valley, Calif.
