Tuesday's Weather Outlook

Mother Nature will sure make the weather pattern feel like autumn in a few spots as the abbreviated work week gets underway Tuesday.

Showers and a few pockets of thunderstorms will make for a soggy morning commute from the Mid-South to interior New England. The same weather system will bring downpours and few gusty storms to northern Pennsylvania and interior New England later in the afternoon. Temperatures will range from the upper 70s in the Northeast to the middle 80s in the Mid-Atlantic.

Umbrellas will also be needed for the Mid-Atlantic west of Interstate 95, the Carolina Coast and Southeast. Not to be outdone, Florida will see a few pockets of showers and storms Tuesday afternoon. These storms will help drop temperatures from the toasty upper 80s and lower 90s into the 70s.

Rain will be a bit more scattered in the Great Lakes, Southwest, Sierra and southern Rockies Tuesday. The trade-off for the Great Lakes will be the cooler temperatures with highs in the 60s. Otherwise, sunshine will rule the West Coast to Plains. Highs will range from the 70s along the West Coast and Plains to the 90s across the interior West and lower 100s in the southern Great Basin and Southwest.
