In the Northeast, highs in the upper 60s with rain around. In the South, highs from the 70s to the 80s with plenty of sunshine. In the Midwest, highs from the 40s to the 50s under cloudy skies, and some rain near Kansas City. In the West, highs from the 50s to the 80s with plenty of sunshine, and some rain near Seattle.
