[September 05, 2008]  (AP)  The remnants of Tropical Storm Gustav were rumbling northeastward into the Great Lakes early Friday, while rain hit the central Plains, and the Northeast and Southwest were toasty warm.

The weakened storm will bring moderate to heavy rain showers and thunderstorms as it treks quickly across the Great Lakes. The mid- and lower Mississippi Valleys will see diminishing rainfall.

Tropical Storm Hanna was expected to gradually increase in speed as it continues moving toward the northwest. Hanna was expected to turn to the north and move near the Southeast coast by late Friday evening, bringing heavy rains and high winds.

The Mid-Atlantic and New England states will begin to see very heavy rainfall and possible flooding as rains spread northward by Saturday.

The Northeast will see dry and warm weather on Friday. A ridge of high pressure moving across the region will allow fair conditions to persist throughout the day.

To the west, an area of low pressure was expected to trigger showers and thunderstorms across the central Plains. Along the West Coast, high pressure and offshore flow will allow for sunny and warm weather on Friday.

Temperatures in the Lower 48 states on Thursday ranged from a low of 24 degrees at Stanley, Idaho, to a high of 114 degrees at Death Valley, Calif.
