Thunderstorms move through Midwest

For the remainder of Wednesday, thunderstorms will become more numerous across the upper Midwest, while showers will also occur in southern Texas and the Southeast. During the second half of the week, the interaction between the Southwestern monsoon circulation and a cold front will result in locally heavy showers. Five-day rainfall totals could reach 1 to 3 inches in the Southeast and 1 to 2 inches from the Southwest into the Great Lakes States. Mostly dry weather will prevail, however, from the Pacific Coast to the northern Plains. Meanwhile, late-season heat will dominate the U.S., except for a brief surge of cool air from the Northwest into the Plains and Midwest.

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for above-normal temperatures in the Pacific Coast States and from the southern Plains into the Southeast, while cooler-than-normal conditions will prevail from the central Rockies into the upper Midwestern, Great Lakes, and Northeastern States. Meanwhile, near- to above-normal rainfall across most of the U.S. will contrast with drier-than-normal weather in southern Texas and from Oregon and California to the northern Intermountain West.
