Weather
A wet pattern for parts of the Corn Belt
Very warm weather will dominate many areas of the country for the remainder of the week, although a modest surge of cool air will arrive across the Plains and Midwest. Below-normal temperatures will also affect portions of the Southwest due to cloudiness and showers associated with monsoon onset. In contrast, heat will be especially persistent in the Northwest. Meanwhile, showers in the vicinity of a cold front could result in 1- to 3-inch rainfall totals, with locally higher amounts, across the eastern half of the U.S. Similar amounts can be expected in the Southwest, but little or no rain will fall through week’s end across California, the High Plains, and the Northwest.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for warmer-than-normal weather nationwide, except for near-normal temperatures in the Midwestern and Mid-Atlantic States. Meanwhile, wetter-than-normal conditions in the Four Corners region and east of the Mississippi River will contrast with near- to below-normal rainfall across the remainder of the country.
