A low pressure system producing rain was parked in the eastern Pacific, transporting moisture northeastward across the Northwest and the Intermountain West. Pockets of thunderstorms were expected to fire up in portions of the Rockies and Great Plains.
A cold front extending from the Mid-Atlantic across the Southern Plains was expected to push southward slowly and then stall across the
Southern states.
That was predicted to spark showers and thunderstorms across the Mid-Atlantic, Tennessee Valley and
Southern states. The strongest storms were to be from northern Texas into the lower Mississippi Valley.
Highs there were expected to drop into the 60s, while temperatures will soar south of the front across much of the Gulf Coast. High temperatures are expected in the lower 90s.
A large high pressure system was predicted to hold across the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley and Northeast, providing sunny and mild weather to those areas.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states on Tuesday ranged from a low of 22 degrees at Bellemont, Ariz., to a high of 102 degrees at Wink, Texas.
