Much cooler pattern ahead east of the Rockies
During the remainder of the week, a pair of cold fronts will push southeastward across the Midwest and into the South and East. As a result, 5-day rainfall totals could reach 1 to 2 inches, with locally higher amounts, across the nation’s northern tier and from the Mississippi Valley to the East Coast. Meanwhile, a few showers will return to the Southwest, but California will remain seasonably dry. Rapid temperature fluctuations can be expected with the cold frontal passages, but late-week heat will be most prominent across the High Plains.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for below-normal temperatures east of the Rockies, except for warmer-than-normal weather in the Deep South. Hot weather will also dominate the West. Meanwhile, below-normal rainfall across the northern Plains, Northwest, and southern Texas will contrast with wetter-than-normal conditions across much of the southern Plains and the eastern one-third of the U.S.
