...A front and low pressure to produce rain over the Southeastern corner
of the country...

...Upper-level energy to produce showers and thunderstorms over parts of
the Middle Mississippi Valley/Southern Plains...

...Weak onshore flow followed by a front will produce rain over parts of
the Pacific Northwest...

A front offshore of the Southeast Coast snakes across northern Florida and
along the Central Gulf Coast and will slowly move south and eastward to
the southern tip of Florida by Monday evening. Low pressure along the
Central Gulf Coast will move eastward along the boundary by Sunday
morning. The system will produce mainly rain over the northern half of the
Southeast and showers and thunderstorms over Florida. The rain will end
roughly by late Sunday morning or early afternoon. As the front slowly
moves southward over Florida, the showers and thunderstorms will move
southward over the peninsula through Sunday evening. Overnight Sunday,
upper-level energy will move out of the Southern High Plains to the
Central Gulf Coast by Monday evening, creating showers and thunderstorms
over the Southern Plains/Western Gulf Coast on Monday.

Meanwhile, the aforementioned upper-level energy will be over the Rockies
on Sunday, moving eastward to the Western Gulf Coast by Monday morning, as
additional upper-level energy moves eastward from the Pacific Northwest to
the Middle Mississippi Valley/Southern Plains by Monday evening. By Sunday
morning, the energy will produce showers and thunderstorms over parts of
the Central Plains into the Southern High Plains. The Showers and
thunderstorms will expand northward over the Central Plains into the
Middle Mississippi Valley by Monday morning. The showers and thunderstorms
will continue over parts of the region through Monday evening.

In addition, weak onshore flow off the Pacific will create rain over parts
of the Pacific Northwest and snow over the higher elevations of the far
northern Cascades through Sunday afternoon. On Sunday afternoon, a front
will move onshore over the Pacific Northwest and inland to the Northern
Intermountain Region by Monday afternoon. The boundary will continue to
produce rain over parts of the Northwest through Monday.
