This storm has limited access to moisture, so precipitation will continue to be mostly light. Some thunderstorms could develop along a front associated with this storm. The front will drape from the Northeastern interior back through the
central Plains. Some of these storms could become severe. Winds and hail are the most likely severe weather threats, tornadoes are not anticipated.
In the West, another day of wet weather is on tap as a Pacific storm lingers off the coast. Precipitation will spread south to Southern California, while becoming reinforced in the Northwest. High-elevation areas will see some snow, with a foot or two likely accumulating above 6,500 feet in the Lake Tahoe region.
Precipitation will also spill over into Idaho, with rain and high-elevation snow anticipated throughout the state.
The Plains will see another clear day, with temperatures slightly cooler than yesterday's balmy highs most places. The East will see warmer temperatures as a warm front approaches.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Tuesday ranged from a morning low of
minus 7 degrees at Mount Washington, N.H., to a high of 88 degrees at Wink, Texas.
