The nation's weather
Weather UndergroundA complex of storms in the eastern portion of the country were forecast to continue providing the most active weather in the country Sunday.
The main low pressure system would gradually slide off the Mid-Atlantic Coast and into the Atlantic Ocean. This type of motion would allow significant moisture to stream into the Northeast, producing steady precipitation throughout New England. Most of this precipitation was expected to fall as rain, but a few snow showers inland couldn't be ruled out.
Farther to the south, more scattered showers were likely in the Mississippi Valley and along the Appalachians.
This continuing precipitation in the Northeast would allow flood watches and flood warnings to remain posted.
In the West, a low pressure system was expected to make its way into the Southern Rockies, where high elevation snow would fall. Winter weather advisories were posted in the Four Corners area in anticipation of snow.
The Northeast was forecast to rise into the 30s and 40s, while the Southwest would see temperatures in the 50s, 60s and 70s. The Northern Plains were expected to rise into the 30s and 40s, while the Northwest would see temperatures in the 40s, 50s and 60s.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Saturday ranged from a low of 6 degrees at Hettinger, N.D., to a high of 87 degrees at Kingsville, Texas.
