Tuesday, April 10, 2012 2:09 PM
This NOAA satellite image taken Sunday, April 8, 2012, at 1:45 a.m. EDT shows a band of clouds move over the Great Lakes and into the Northeast. A low pressure system moving through eastern Canada pushes the front eastward, producing scattered showers and thunderstorms. To the south, the tail end of this front stalls over the Southern Plains, kicking up strong storms. Meanwhile, high pressure brings another sunny and dry day to the East Coast. (AP Photo/Weather Underground)Weather Underground Forecast for Tuesday, April 10, 2012. Areas of active weather will return to parts of the country on Tuesday. The strongest storm to impact the country will slam into the West Coast, renewing widespread rain in the area. The rain will initially hit the coast from Washington to Central California, then spread inland in a line extending southward into Southern California. While this storm will not be very cold in nature, it will produce some high elevation snow from Washington to the Sierra Nevadas of California. This will be the first in a series of storms that will slam into the West Coast for the rest of the workweek.
