The pesky Eastern storm will continue to make for weather trouble today.
The heaviest rain will make its way toward the Eastern Seaboard, with thunderstorms possible from New England to Florida. Meanwhile, a disturbance behind the main storm will help trigger rain and a few thunderstorms across the eastern Great Lakes and upper Ohio Valley.
Meanwhile, the West will also see a carbon copy of Saturday’s weather. Rain will creep eastward into Montana and the western Rockies, while maintaining its grip on the Great Basin. Colder air associated with this storm may even mean a few wet snowflakes for the highest elevations of the Rockies and Sierra.
There will be two ribbons of sunshine today. One will stretch from the Dakotas and eastern Montana to the Gulf Coast, while the other will extend along the Pacific coast.
Chilly 50s and lower 60s will be found from Illinois to northern New England, with upper 60s and 70s common from the Mid-South to the Mid-Atlantic. Unlike previous days, the 80s will be limited to the Gulf Coast, Florida, and the southern Carolinas.
The spot to be is in the Plains, where 70s and 80s will surge as far north as the Canadian border, while much of the interior West struggles to get out of the 50s and lower 60s. The sun-filled West Coast will see cool temperatures along the coast, with milder 70s and 80s in the interior.
