...Light snow for parts of the Upper Great Lakes and Northeast...

...Record heat for the interior west with temperatures 20 degrees
above average...

A weak front across the Northern Tier States will trigger light to
moderate snow over the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the
Northeast, mainly on Tuesday. Moreover, the front will also
trigger light rain over the Lower Great Lakes on Wednesday. In
addition, upper-level energy will trigger light rain over parts of
the Lower Mississippi and the Tennessee Valleys on Tuesday.
Furthermore, lower pressure along the boundary over the Southeast
will create showers and thunderstorms over parts of the Southeast,
Tuesday into Wednesday.

Meanwhile, onshore flow and upper-level impulses will produce rain
and higher-elevation snow over the Pacific Northwest through
Wednesday. Light rain will develop over parts of the Northern High
Plains overnight Tuesday into Wednesday. Lastly, upper-level
ridging over the West will aid in producing record heat over the
area through Wednesday.
