NATIONAL SUMMARY

Heat will hold on over the southern Plains as cooler air

lowers temperatures a bit father to the north over the

central Plains today. Warmth will surge over the Ohio Valley

and nudge the Northeast in the wake of the departing storm

with its rain and strong winds. Abundant sunshine is in

store for the Southeast with seasonable temperatures

forecast for much of the Florida Peninsula. Showers will dot

the upper Great Lakes. Thunderstorms are expected to erupt

over the central Plains and then extend toward the middle

part of the Mississippi Valley later on. In the West, dry

and sunny conditions will prevail over the Southland with

some coastal low clouds. A storm from the Pacific Ocean is

likely to push ashore in the Northwest with clouds, rain and

some high-elevation snow.
