An active, moisture-laden part ahead for the Midwest
An active weather pattern across the central and eastern U.S. will lead to 5-day precipitation totals of 1 to 4 inches in the states bordering the Mississippi River, as well as the Ohio Valley. Locally severe thunderstorms will accompany the rain across portions of the Plains, Midwest, and South. Meanwhile, mostly dry, windy weather will continue to plague the southern High Plains, leading to an elevated risk of wildfires and the possibility of blowing dust. Elsewhere, unsettled, showery weather will linger across the West, although precipitation amounts will not be particularly heavy.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for below-normal temperatures in the western Gulf Coast region and from the Mississippi Valley to the East Coast, while warmer-than-normal weather will prevail from the Pacific Coast to the High Plains. Meanwhile, near- to below-normal precipitation across the majority of the U.S. will contrast with wetter-than-normal conditions in New England and the lower Southeast.
