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.
