Weather
A cool-off for the Heartland
Hot, mostly dry weather will persist through week’s end in California and the Northwest, but cooler air will briefly overspread the Plains and Midwest. The push of cool air will be preceded by widespread showers and thunderstorms, mainly across the South and East. During the second half of the week, showers and thunderstorms will accompany a return to warm weather across the northern Plains and parts of the Midwest. Elsewhere, monsoon showers will continue in the Four Corners States, but little or no rain will fall across Texas. Five-day rainfall amounts could reach 1 to 3 inches in the Southeast and Southwest, while parts of the upper Midwest may receive an inch or more.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for below-normal temperatures across the northern and central Plains and Midwest, while hotter-than-normal weather will cover the West and Deep South. Meanwhile, near- to above-normal rainfall across the majority of the U.S. will contrast with drier-than-normal conditions in the western Gulf Coast region and from the Pacific Northwest into the upper Midwest.
