A drier pattern next week for parts of the Heartland
A stationary frontal boundary stretching from the western Corn Belt into the southern Mid-Atlantic will separate chilly conditions in the Northeast from heat and humidity over much of the south. Locally heavy rain will persist along the front, with totals of 2 to 4 inches (locally more) possible across the central Plains and Midwest. Meanwhile, heat and humidity coupled with a series of weak disturbances will lead to scattered but potentially heavy downpours from the southern High Plains and southern Texas into the Southeast. Farther north, a slow-moving storm in southern Canada will produce scattered showers over the northern Plains and Upper Midwest. Out west, showers will diminish in the Northwest as dry, increasingly hot weather gradually returns from the Rockies to the Pacific Coast.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for above-normal rainfall in the Northwest and from the southeastern Plains to the central Atlantic Coast. Conversely, drier-than-normal conditions will prevail in the Four Corners region and from the northern Plains into the Upper Midwest. Above-normal temperatures are expected over the northern Plains and much of the western U.S. as well as the Southeast and southern Mid-Atlantic, while cooler-than-normal weather develops from Texas into the Great Lakes region.
