Hardware The storm system and associated frontal boundary over the central Gulf Coast states was expected to lift northward across the Eastern Seaboard and combine with a weak cold front from the Great Lakes. Waves of low pressure would develop along this frontal boundary and aid in producing plenty of showers and thunderstorms from the Gulf Coast and the Southeast Coast through the eastern valleys and the Mid-Atlantic. Precipitation was expected to spread into the Northeast by Thursday evening.

Additional, precipitation was expected across the Great Lakes due to wraparound moisture. Meanwhile, chilly to below-average temperatures were expected in the East, behind the storms of the Eastern Seaboard.

Out West, calm weather conditions with fair skies would prevail over much of the West on Thursday. A large ridge of high pressure was forecast to dominate the region, providing more dry conditions with above normal temperatures from much of the West Coast to the Continental Divide.

Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Wednesday ranged from a low of 15 degrees at Berlin, N.H., to a high of 99 degrees at Corona, Calif.
