Weather
A milder and drier trend in the days to come
A series of disturbances traveling along the length of a cold front will continue to focus locally heavy rainfall across the Mid-South and environs. During the next 5 days, additional rainfall could reach 2 to 5 inches or more in a broad area centered on the Ozark Plateau and the lower Ohio Valley. North of the front, generally cool, dry weather will prevail. Additional frost can be expected in the northern Corn Belt through the weekend. However, late-season warmth will linger across the Deep South. Farther west, generally warm, dry weather will prevail from California to the northern Plains, while seasonal showers will increase in the Pacific Northwest.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for near- to above-normal temperatures nationwide, with the highest likelihood of warmer-than-normal weather in the Southwest and New England. Wet weather is forecast for the Pacific Northwest and a large section of the East stretching from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Seaboard. In contrast, drier weather will dominate much of the nation’s mid-section, including the Great Plains and lower Mississippi Valley.
