Weather Underground Forecast for Monday, May 12, 2008.

The east coast will see some drenching rains Monday morning as an intense area of low pressure slides off the coast. As the storm pushes into the Atlantic, the severe weather it brought to the Plains and Southeast over the weekend will finally come to a close. While damaging winds are unlikely on Monday, the heavy rains associated with this storm are expected to cause some significant and extended flooding along the Delaware river. Coastal flooding is also likely along the coastline from Delaware through Long Island, with the worst flooding expected to occur around the time of high tide in the afternoon.

More wet weather will be found across the northern Rockies where a cold trough moving eastward across the nation will bring some late season high elevation snow to the mountains. Rain will also fall in the low elevations and temperatures will be unseasonably cold. In the mountains across northwestern Wyoming, temperatures are expected to remain below freezing all day while some significant accumulations of snow occur.

Elsewhere in the West, building high pressure will take control of the weather pattern, and clear skies will spread throughout the region. The southern California coast will see another day of foggy conditions, but by Tuesday the region should clear out like everywhere else.



Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Sunday ranged from a low of 6 degrees at Rush City, Minn to a high of 101 degrees at Yuma, Ariz.
