A quieter than normal period of weather is underway across the
CONUS and is forecast to continue until Thursday. Tonight,
scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop along a pair of
cold fronts propagating through the Northern/Central Plains and
Upper Midwest. Some rain showers may also occur along the SoCal
coast as well. More scattered to isolated rain showers and
thunderstorms will spread into the Southern Plains, Lower
Mississippi Valley, Midwest and Great Lakes on Tuesday. Two low
pressure systems will consolidate and spread showers and
thunderstorms across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic on Wednesday.
Storms are also forecast to develop over parts of the Southern
Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley Wednesday and continue into
that evening.

An amplifying pattern over the eastern Pacific and Western CONUS
will influence temperatures over the next couple of days. Strong
southerly flow into the West/Southwest will support above average
temperatures through Wednesday. Temperatures will be above average
over the High Plains as well during this period. An upper trough
moving through the Great Lakes on Wednesday will support below
average temperatures into the Northeast through Thursday.
