The nation's weather

[November 03, 2008] (AP) A Pacific storm system was making for a messy morning in the Northwest early Monday, while rain clouds swirled over the Carolinas. Much of the middle of the nation was to see temperatures in the 70s.

Showers along the West Coast were to span from Washington to central California, with the heaviest rain expected over the central coast of Oregon and northern California.

A frontal system over the Great Basin was to push eastward across the Rockies and into the Plains, triggering rain and snow showers. Cooler temperatures were expected for the majority of the West, with highs across the Northwest ranging in the 40s to 50s. The Southwest was to see temperatures in the 60s to 80s.

To the east, a warm front was to continue generating showers over the upper Great Lakes throughout Monday morning. Temperatures across the Midwest were to be warmer, ranging from the 50s to 60s.

Light showers were expected to advance over the Northeast by Monday afternoon. Temperatures across the region were to be mild, ranging from the 40s to 70s.

To the south, low pressure over the eastern Gulf of Mexico was to continue creating showers and thunderstorms over Florida and the Carolina coast. The Southeast was to see temperatures in the 70s and 80s.

Temperatures in the Lower 48 states on Sunday ranged from a low of 11 degrees at Saranac Lake, N.Y., to a high of 92 degrees at Bullhead City, Ariz.
