Weather Underground Forecast for Tuesday, September 07, 2010.

Tropical Storm Hermine will continue losing strength as it moves over southern Texas and northeastern Mexico. On Tuesday, the system will reduce to a tropical depression with winds less than 39 mph. Flow around the system pulls ample moisture in from the Gulf of Mexico, which will continue kicking up scattered showers and thunderstorms over southeastern Texas. Expect rainfall totals from this storm to range from 4-6 inches over the region.

Meanwhile, in the North, a low pressure system continues tracking eastward and moves over the Great Lakes on Tuesday. This system will create a cold front that will stretch down the Upper and Mid-Mississippi River Valley and into the Southern Plains. Expect rainfall totals along this front to range between 1-2 inches. These storms are also likely to turn severe as it has a history of producing large hail and severe winds. Expect flooding to remain a concern over the Upper and Mid-Mississippi River Valley.

High pressure hovering over the East Coast will bring more sunny skies and warm temperatures. The North will see increasingly cloudy skies as the low moves in from the Great Lakes. Expect the Northeast and New England to remain in the 80s, while the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast will reach into the 90s.

Most of the West Coast will see another sunny and warm day as high pressure prevails. However, a trough of low pressure will continue moving trough the Pacific Northwest, bringing overcast skies and light showers.
