The country continues to be bisected by a cold front, with cooler-than-average temperatures to the west and warmer-than-average temperatures to the east. This same cold front will bring a severe threat to the Midwest.

The WeatherRadar shows a cold front dominating the central part of the U.S. This front stretches from the Upper Midwest into the Central Plains and will bring the risk of strong storms from Oklahoma to Wisconsin. Damaging wind, large hail and even a few tornadoes are possible in cities like Duluth and Minneapolis, Minn. Make sure your Weather Radar app alerts are on.

Low pressure will trigger showers and storms from Georgia and the Carolinas up through Virginia and Maryland. Rain may be heavy at times, with localized flooding possible. We'll also see a coastal storm in New England that brings the threat of heavy rain. The WeatherRadar also shows rain moving into the Pacific Northwest late today as another storm system moves in off the Pacific.

The TemperatureRadar still shows warmer-than-average temperatures for the East and cooler-than-average temperatures for the West. The Northeast will see highs in the 70s and 80s, while 80s and 90s are in play across much of the South, Plains, and Midwest. The West Coast, northern California and the Pacific Northwest will see highs in the 60s.

There are three areas of interest we are watching today. The remnants of Gordon have a medium chance of redeveloping later this week in the central Atlantic. There's also the chance that another wave in the central Atlantic could see tropical development. What we are paying the closest attention to is the Caribbean where a tropical depression could form by next week.

Hurricane season doesn't end until Nov. 30 in the Atlantic. Are your hurricane alerts on? Check here.
