Tuesday's Weather Outlook

Wet weather dominates the nation this Tuesday as most regions will see wet weather conditions. 

In the Northeast, a mix of wintry conditions will be present as well as some stormy conditions. Along the U.S.-Canada border, a rain and snow mix will be accompanied by some icy conditions. Coastal areas will be dry this Tuesday, but the remainder of the Northeast can expect rain showers with some isolated thunderstorms. 

The Mid-Atlantic will also be wet, with the DMV escaping these conditions and remaining dry. Other than Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia, Mid-Atlantic states should expect showers with some isolated thunderstorms. 

The Southeast, a mix of stormy conditions and dry weather will be present. The Gulf Coast will remain dry this Tuesday; however, the states bordering the Gulf Coast will have some rain showers and isolated thunderstorms present along the northern parts of the states. 

The Midwest will have significant variation in weather this Tuesday. The Great Lakes region will see a mix of rain and snow that brings icy conditions to the region. Some isolated storms and heavy bouts of rain will be present in the southern portion of the Great Lakes, encompassing the Chicago metro area. Similarly, the Northern Plains will see a rain/snow mix, with only the U.S.-Canada border remaining dry. The Central and Southern Plains will also be wet, with stormy conditions and rain showers expected. 

The Mountain West will also see wet weather conditions throughout the region. In the Northern Rockies, snow will cling to the mountainous peaks. The Southern Rockies, although still wet, will experience some isolated thunderstorms and a rain and snow mix. Snow will top the higher mountainous peaks while a cold rain will fall in the valleys. 

The Pacific Northwest will see similar conditions, with snow clinging to the Cascades, a mix of rain and snow in the foothills, and a cold rain falling to the valley floors. These wet weather conditions will extend from the central Oregon coast up through the Seattle metro in Washington state. 

The Desert Southwest will be dry within California, but moisture in the region will cause Arizona and New Mexico to see some isolated thunderstorms and rain showers. 

Below freezing temperatures will be present in the Northern Great Lakes, Northern Rockies, and Pacific Northwest this Tuesday. Areas will be in the 30s along the U.S.-Canada border and mountainous regions, with 40s dominating in the valleys and remainding portions of the regions. 

Areas seeing temperatures in the 50s will be the mountainous portions of New England, the southern Great Lakes, the area between the Central and Northern Plains, and foothills in the Southern Rockies. Sixties can be seen along the New England coastline, lowland areas in the Southern Rockies, California's Central Vallet, and within the Desert Southwest, Arizona and New Mexico. 

The 70s are a common temperature for most of the country to experience this Tuesday. The Mid-Atlantic, Ohio River Valley, Tennessee Valley, Central Plains, and Desert Southwest will see these temperatures. Areas expecting 80s will be the Southern Plains, Southeast, Deep South, and more arid areas in the Desert Southwest.
