Big rains ahead for the central, southern Corn Belt
Tropical Depression Bill will remain a focus for heavy rain, totaling 3 to 6 inches or more, while crossing the southeastern Plains, mid-South, and the Ohio Valley. During the weekend, Bill’s remnants could result in locally heavy showers in the Mid-Atlantic States. Elsewhere, 5-day rainfall totals could reach 1 to 2 inches in the upper Midwest, while little or no rain will accompany above-normal temperatures across the West and the lower Southeast. By week’s end, very warm weather will replace previously cool conditions in the Plains and Midwest.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of near- to above-normal temperatures nationwide, except for cooler-than-normal conditions from Minnesota to New England. Meanwhile, below-normal rainfall in the Northwest and Southeast will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather in parts of the Southwest and the Great Lakes and Northeastern States.
