Weather
A thaw ahead for much of the Heartland
During the next two days, a winter-weather event will unfold across the South, East, and lower Midwest. Additional precipitation totals could reach 1 to 2 inches or more from northeastern Texas into the Mid-Atlantic region. Furthermore, a significant winter weather event will feature heavy snow and sleet form the Ozark Plateau into the Mid-Atlantic States. Snow accumulations can also be expected across the southern Plains. By Friday, cold conditions across the South, East, and Midwest will contrast with mild weather from the Pacific Coast to the northern High Plains. Warmth will continue to build across the nation’s mid-section through the weekend. Elsewhere, little or no precipitation will fall during the next 5 days from the Pacific Coast into the northern Corn Belt.
Looking ahead, the 6-10 day outlook calls for near- to above-normal temperatures and near- to below-normal precipitation across the majority of the U.S. Colder-than-normal conditions will be limited to the northern Atlantic region and the south-central U.S., while wetter-than-normal weather will be confined to northern California, the Pacific Northwest, and the nation’s southern tier from the Rio Grande Valley into the lower Southeast.
