No shortage of moisture for the eastern Plains, Corn Belt
Over the next several days, a slow-moving storm currently organizing over the Four Corners region will produce an area of locally heavy snow from central portions of the Rockies and Plains into northern-most portions of the Great Lakes and New England, while pockets of sleet and freezing rain are possible across the northern Corn Belt and interior New England. In the storm’s warm sector, locally heavy rain — and potentially severe weather — will develop from the eastern Plains and Mississippi Valley to the central Atlantic Coast. Out west, the recent influx of Pacific moisture will retreat northward, maintaining additional late-season rain and mountain snow across the Northwest and northern Rockies.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for above-normal temperatures across the west to contrast with near- to below-normal temperatures east of the Rockies. Drier-than-normal conditions are expected across much of the western and central U.S., though areas along the U.S.-Canadian border will remain wet. Likewise, above-normal precipitation is anticipated across the eastern third of the nation.
