A wetter pattern ahead for parts of the Plains, Corn Belt

Looking ahead, a pair of slow-moving disturbances — one currently located over Louisiana and the other over southeastern Georgia — will generate showers and thunderstorms from the Delta to the central and southern Atlantic Coast States, with potentially heavy downpours possible from eastern South Carolina into the lower Delmarva. Meanwhile, a humid air mass over the Midwest will lead to scattered, mostly light showers, with more organized rain activity developing next week as a frontal system approaches. Monsoon showers are expected to persist from the central Rockies into the Four Corners region. Farther north, hot, mostly dry weather will prevail from the Northwest to the northern Plains, where daytime highs will average up to 10° above normal.

The 6- to 10-day outlook calls for cooler- and wetter-than-normal weather across most areas from the central Rockies to the Ohio Valley and Northeast. Above-normal temperatures will be confined to the Pacific Coast States as well as the Rio Grande Valley and Southeast, while drier-than-normal conditions are confined to southern-most portions of the U.S., the Pacific Northwest, and Upper Midwest.
