The nation's weather

[November 19, 2008]  (AP)  More snow was forecast for the Great Lakes region on Wednesday, while chilly temperatures were expected in the central and southern Plains and the Southeast.

Northern Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan were forecast to get 6 to 10 inches of snow. Two to 5 inches were expected in northern New York. Forecasters warned that whiteout conditions were likely.

Temperatures in the central and southern Plains were expected to fall below seasonable norms, though the regions were not predicted to see any precipitation.

Windy, cool conditions were forecast for the mid-Atlantic and Gulf Coast states. Daytime highs were expected to reach only into the 50s before temperatures dip below freezing overnight.

Partly cloudy skies and cooler temperatures were forecast across the West, which was predicted to stay dry. Strong winds and dry surface conditions continued to pose a fire danger in Southern California.

Temperatures in the Lower 48 states on Tuesday ranged from a low of 2 degrees at Upson, Wis., to a high of 93 degrees at Riverside, Calif.
