 Highs will decrease slightly in the Northeast as a cold front approaches, but the northwestern Plains will see a reinforcing area of hot weather move in. The Midwest can expect to see
lower temperatures, with highs in the Great Lakes region experiencing a temperature drop of 10 to 20 degrees for some locations.
The frontal boundary responsible for the cooling will also trigger strong thunderstorms throughout the Northeast, with the risk of strong winds and large hail in store for the region from Ohio through Cape Cod. Thunderstorms will also spread down the Appalachians to the Gulf Coast, and into Texas.
In the central Plains, highs will remain warm, with clear or hazy skies expected south of the Dakotas. Clear skies will spread into the Rockies, though the front range will see some thunderstorms pop up in the afternoon.
In the West, more wet weather is on tap for Oregon and Northern California as an unusual late-season storm continues to sit along the coast. Skies will clear out south of Sacramento, but temperatures throughout much of California will be cooler than normal for this time of year.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Tuesday ranged from a morning low of 35 degrees at Lakeview AWS, Ore., to a high of 103 degrees at Middleton, Wis.
