Weather
A couple of small disturbances are working their way through the country east of the Rockies on Tuesday, but with limited shower potential. The Gulf Coast will have some heavier showers along a stalled front there. All eyes are focused on the West where another storm system is moving in with widespread heavy precipitation. That storm system will bring widespread impacts to the country throughout the week. Colder temperatures over the northern snowpack continue to limit melting.
