Weather
A wet pattern to persist across the Midwest
Tropical Depression Bill will move through the Ohio Valley over the next few days as it gradually loses its tropical characteristics. The storm remnants will generate additional heavy rain (2 inches or more locally) from the southern Corn Belt to the mid-Atlantic Region before exiting the region. Meanwhile, scattered, locally heavy showers will descend from the Canadian Prairies into the upper Midwest. In contrast, dry weather will continue to dominate the West, with unseasonal heat (daytime highs in excess of 100°) continuing in parts of California and the Southwest. Mostly dry weather will also prevail across the Southeast, though scattered showers from the remnants of Bill are expected in parts of the Delta and Carolinas. Summer showers are also forecast for peninsular Florida.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls above-normal rainfall over large sections of the Midwest and Northeast, as well as the Four-Corners Region. Drier conditions are forecast for the Northwest and the Gulf Coast Region. Hot weather is expected to continue in the West and Southeast. Meanwhile, cooler-than-normal weather should accompany the wetness in sections of the Southwest and Northeast.
