Meanwhile, a cold front pushing across the eastern valleys will reach the Eastern Seaboard with more unsettled weather activity. The front will stir up scattered showers and thunderstorms from portions of the lower Great Lakes and Northeast southward into the Southeast and central Gulf Coast states through the day. Areas along the Gulf Coast and across much of Florida and Texas will remain hot on Tuesday as daytime highs reach into the upper 80s and 90s.

To the west of this activity, a cold front will cross the Northwest, bringing rain showers with afternoon and evening thunderstorms to parts of the northern Intermountain West and northern Rockies. This frontal system will merge with another disturbance dropping out of southern Canada as it progresses eastward. Expect thunderstorm activity to spread into the northern Plains ahead of this system. Storms in this region may turn severe with very large hail and damaging wind gusts. Meanwhile, a stronger front from the Pacific will reach the Pacific Northwest with a cooler air mass and precipitation.

Elsewhere in the West, temperatures across the desert Southwest on Tuesday will climb into the range of 100 to near 110 degrees.

Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Monday ranged from a morning low of 27 degrees at Leadville, Colo., to a high of 105 degrees at Thermal, Calif.
