A cold pattern for the Corn Belt

A storm system affecting the Great Lakes region will continue to drift eastward, reaching eastern Canada by Thursday. A trailing cold front will become the focus for showers and thunderstorms, with precipitation reaching the Atlantic Seaboard by Friday. Storm-total rainfall could reach 1 to 2 inches from the mid-South into the Northeast, with a few locations along the Atlantic Coast also expected to receive more than an inch. Accumulating snow will be mostly confined to the nation’s northern tier from the Great Lakes region into northern New England. Cold weather will trail the departing storm, with weekend freezes expected as far south as portions of Alabama and Georgia. Meanwhile, periods of precipitation will continue through week’s end in the Northwest, while warm, dry weather will prevail from California into the Southwest.

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for above-normal temperatures west of the Mississippi River, while cooler-than-normal conditions will cover the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic States, as well as the lower Great Lakes region. Meanwhile, near- to below-normal precipitation across the majority of the U.S. will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather in the Ohio Valley and across the nation’s northern tier from Montana to New England.
