Tuesday's Weather Outlook

Dry conditions end this Tuesday for many regions of the country as moisture moves in, bringing April showers. 

In the Northeast, high pressure off Maine keeps much of New England dry, while the moisture spreads to the New York and D.C. metro areas. With this moisture that encompasses the northern Mid-Atlantic as well, isolated thunderstorms are possible. The remainder of the Mid-Atlantic will be dry. 

Extending to the Southeast, dry weather conditions as a result of high pressure as well, keeping most of the Southeast dry, while the Deep South faces some thunder and rain. States such as Texas and Louisiana will have wet weather conditions this Tuesday, with storms possible as well.  

Similarly, the southern Great Lakes region will experience some wet, stormy weather while the remainder of the region is dry. Aside from these wet weather conditions in the southern Great Lakes, the Midwest should expect dry weather conditions, which is a much-anticipated break for those that felt the wrath of springtime showers this past week. 

The Mountain West will be primarily dry as well, with the only moisture clinging to the higher mountainous peaks of the Rockies. However, highly populated areas will be rain and snow-free. 

The Rockies is the border of dry weather this Tuesday as moisture takes over the West Coast from the Pacific Northwest down through the Desert Southwest. A mix of rain and snow will fall within the Cascades, Great Basin Desert, and Sierra Nevada, with rain showers falling elsewhere. 

Chilled temperatures in the 30s and 40s ease up this Tuesday, with regions seeing these temperatures will be limited to New England, the northern Great Lakes, and the mountainous peaks and associated foothills of the Cascades, Rockies, and Sierra Nevada. Temperatures in the 50s will spread to outlying regions such as the northern Mid-Atlantic, Pacific Northwest, and California’s Central Valley. 

Areas seeing 60s this Tuesday will be the northern Mid-Atlantic, central Texas, California’s Central Valley, and the coastline of southern California. Seventy-degree temperatures will have a much greater spread this Tuesday, being experiences in regions such as the Mid-Atlantic, Ohio River Valley, southern Great Lakes, northern Plains, southern Plains, and lowland areas of the Rockies and Great Basin Desert. 

Temperatures in the 80s will be present in the Southeast, central Plains, Rio Grande Valley, and Desert Southwest. Some 90-degree spikes will be possible within the Desert Southwest this Tuesday but will not be common for the rest of the country.
