Weather

Warm; wet across the eastern Corn Belt

A disturbance currently over the Delta will drift eastward, reaching the Appalachians by early next week. Rainfall associated with the disturbance will be heaviest in the South, with 1 to 3 inches likely across the Gulf Coast and Southeast, while lighter showers fall farther north from the Tennessee Valley into eastern portions of the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes. Elsewhere, only light showers — totaling less than an inch — can be expected across the remainder of the country during the next 5 days, except possibly for some heavier rain late in the period across the north-central U.S. Cooler-than-normal conditions will persist through the weekend across the eastern half of the U.S., while hot weather returns to the Plains. Elsewhere, the Northwestern heat wave will end during the weekend as cooler air overspreads the Pacific Coast States and Great Basin.

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for near- to above-normal temperatures nationwide, except for cooler-than-normal conditions in the Pacific Northwest. Meanwhile, below-normal rainfall across southern Texas and from the Great Basin eastward to the central Plains will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather across much of the eastern half of the U.S.
