A risk of severe thunderstorms was anticipated across parts of eastern Wyoming, western Nebraska and northwestern Colorado. Sustained winds could reach 25 mph to 35 mph across much of the West.
Low pressure was expected to linger in the northeastern part of the United States, threatening the Great Lakes, New England and Mid-Atlantic with rain. Daytime temperatures mostly in the 50s and 60s were forecast.
Farther south, a cold front was expected to become nearly stationary over the southeastern United States and parts of the Deep South. Showers and thunderstorms were likely, along with potentially damaging wind gusts across southern Georgia and the Florida Panhandle.
A tranquil day was forecast for the nation's midsection, except for portions of the Central Plains, where scattered thunderstorms were possible.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Tuesday ranged from a low of 12 degrees at Bradford, Pa., to a high of 117 degrees at Death Valley, Calif.
