Seasonal early-July weather for the Plains, Midwest
The development of the season’s first Atlantic Basin tropical storm appears likely this week just east of the southern Atlantic Coast, with uncertain impacts on coastal weather as the holiday weekend approaches. Meanwhile, cooler, drier air will briefly overspread the Plains and Midwest in the wake of a series of cold fronts. Before the fronts clear the Plains and Midwest, however, additional rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches can be expected in parts of the northern and western Corn Belt. Showers will linger, possibly into the 4th of July weekend, across portions of the South and the Atlantic Coast States. During the weekend, scattered showers will return to the nation’s mid-section, mainly across the northern Plains and upper Midwest. Elsewhere, mostly dry weather will prevail west of the Rockies.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for above-normal temperatures across the northern Plains, West, and Southeast, while cooler-than-normal conditions will be limited to an area stretching from eastern Texas to the Great Lakes States. Meanwhile, below-normal rainfall across the Northeast, Northwest, and northern Plains will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather in the Southwest and Southeast.
