Temperatures were expected to moderate slightly from the early season cold snap from the beginning of the week, but highs would still be on the cooler end of the spectrum for this time of year.

A few showers and clouds were forecast to stick around in New England, especially at the coast where the outer reaches of a strong Atlantic low pressure system linger ashore. The low was expected to sit nearly stationary a few hundred miles east of the Mid-Atlantic, though it wouldn't directly influence the weather there. The storm was forecast to generate strong winds out to sea though, and as a result, some large waves were possible along the beaches of the East Coast.

The eastern high would keep skies clear and temperatures warmer than normal through to the Mississippi, but west of there a trough would move through bringing cooler weather along with some clouds and rain. This weather system was expected to be relatively narrow and wouldn't bring too much precipitation to the Plains. Even farther to the west, the remains of a Pacific storm would continue weakening in the Northwest leaving residual showers and high elevation snow across the region.

Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Tuesday ranged from a low of 12 degrees at Mammoth Lakes, Calif., to a high of 87 degrees at McAllen, Texas.
