Seasonal pattern for the Heartland

Remnant moisture from former Hurricane Odile will continue to spread into the Southwest, where heavy showers and flash flooding can be expected during the next several days. Five-day rainfall totals could reach 2 to 6 inches or more in parts of Arizona and New Mexico, with lighter amounts farther to the north and west. Meanwhile, showers will also linger from coastal Texas to Florida, where 1- to 3-inch totals may occur. Toward week’s end, showers and thunderstorms will produce 1- to 2-inch rainfall totals from the Great Lakes region to southern Plains. Elsewhere, late-season heat—currently in place from California to the northern and central Rockies—will gradually spread eastward across the nation’s mid-section.

 

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for near- to above-normal temperatures nationwide. The greatest likelihood of warmer-than-normal weather will be from the Pacific Coast States to the northern High Plains. Meanwhile, near- to above-normal precipitation across the South, East, and lower Midwest will contrast with drier-than-normal conditions from the Pacific Northwest into the upper Midwest.
