The storm that will be the wettest will move along the Gulf Coast, producing not only rain along the coast, but also snow in parts of the Southeast and lower Mississippi Valley. The snow may cause travel problems as several new inches of the white stuff are expected.

Meanwhile, a second storm will move out of the Rockies and into the Plains. This storm will be a typical winter storm that will instigate widespread snow, heavy at times, in the northern half of the Plains. As the day progresses, snow will move eastward into Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota.

A windy storm will move northeastward away from the Northeast coast, allowing breezy conditions to gradually diminish along with any lingering snow showers. Dry conditions are expected from Michigan through the Northeast.

In the West, lingering rain and high-elevation snow are possible in the Northwest, but the rest of the region will remain dry.

The Northeast will rise into the 20s and 30s, while the Southeast will see temperatures in the 30s, 40s and some 50s. The northern Plains will rise into the single digits and teens. The Northwest will rise into the 20s, 30s and some 40s.

Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Sunday ranged from a morning low of minus 27 degrees at Cook, Minn., to a high of 81 degrees at McAllen, Texas.
