(AP) -- Rain and thunderstorms swept over parts of the South on Sunday, and a high pressure system brought hot weather to the Plains.
A slow-moving cold front triggered scattered showers and thunderstorms through the Tennessee Valley and Carolinas. More thunderstorms lined up across Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, while partly cloudy skies prevailed over the Gulf Coast and Florida. Some showers and thunderstorms lingered over the Eastern Seaboard.
Mild conditions prevailed over the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley as high pressure dug into the region.
High pressure continued to dominate over much of the central states and brought partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies across the central to southern Plains, Ozarks, lower Mississippi Valley, Midwest and Missouri Valley. Heat index readings across Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas ranged from 100 to 110 degrees.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms doused the Northern Rockies. Otherwise, weather was dry and skies were partly cloudy across the rest of the West.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Sunday ranged from a midday high of 100 in Falls City, Nebraska, to a low of 33 in Stanley, Idaho.
