Northeast

Tropical Depression Jeanne, a second low pressure system and a cold front will combine to produce wet weather on Tuesday in the Middle Atlantic and Northeast regions. Jeanne, which by late tomorrow should be moving eastward to Virginia, will team up with a weak storm center developing along cold front pushing through New England to deliver a very wet Tusday to areas from Virginia to Massachusetts. Only portions of Upstate New York, western New York and western Pennsylvania may get through the day without any rain. The threat of isolated tornadoes will move northward eastern North Carolina up to the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula. High temperatures will be in the 60s and 70s, north to south.

 

South

As Tropical Depression Jeanne moves out of the Southeast, conditions will improve from south to north. Showers may linger in the Carolinas and southern Appalachians, but only North Carolina seems likely to see significant amounts of rainfall. Sunny, dry weather will prevail from Alabama westward to central Texas. Showers will remain over West Texas and western Oklahoma. High temperatures in the 80s will be widespread, although the 70s will be more common in North Carolina, West Texas and western Oklahoma.

 

Midwest

Under high pressure, much of the Midwest will be mostly sunny and dry on Tuesday. A few showers will fall across Kansas, however. High temperatures in the 60s will be widespread from the Great Plains to the Great Lakes with the 70s prevailing from eastern Kansas through the lower Midwest.

 

West

Except for some showers in the Four Corners area and surrounding mountains, the rest of the West will be dry on Tuesday. High temperatures are expected to range from above average in the Pacific Northwest and Montana to below average in eastern Colorado and New Mexico. Overall, highs should range from the 50s in the Colorado Rockies to around 100 (or slightly above) in the lower Colorado River Valley and southwest Arizona.
