The storms in the Northeast will likely develop into strong squall lines in the afternoon, and very strong winds were expected across New England and the
Mid-Atlantic states.
Florida also will see wet weather on Monday as a weak area of low pressure develops just offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. The low is to move over the Florida Peninsula later in the week.
The Western Plains also may see some strong thunderstorms as a stationary front sits along the eastern slopes of the Rockies. Conditions in the region were favorable for powerful storms that could result in large hail, strong winds and tornadoes.
In the eastern interior and Midwest, temperatures will cool down substantially as the front bringing wet weather to the east carries cold air behind it.
Out West, temperatures will remain warm throughout the interior as high pressure builds in the Desert Southwest. The heat will spread northward throughout the Intermountain West and into California's Central Valley.
Even the Northwest will see some very warm temperatures on Monday. Though most of the West will remain hot, the coast will see cooler weather as morning fog draws cool Pacific air ashore.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states on Sunday ranged from a low of 26 degrees at Stanley, Idaho, to a high of 116 degrees at Death Valley, Texas.
