Severe weather, including damaging winds, large hail and tornadoes, was possible in the southern Plains and lower Mississippi Valley, especially during the afternoon and evening.
In the West, pockets of showers and thunderstorms were forecast for the Intermountain West and Rockies. Rain could mix with snow in the northern Rockies.
Rain was expected to increase throughout the day as a storm system sags southeast from British Columbia and a low pressure system develops in the central Great Basin. California, however, was likely to see another mild and sunny day.
Warm and sunny weather was also forecast across much of the East, although rain was expected to develop over portions of the Northeast and northern Mid-Atlantic by Wednesday night.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Tuesday ranged from a low of 20 degrees at Spincich Lake, Mich., to a high of 94 degrees at Wink, Texas.
