Weather
A pattern change ahead across the Heartland
For the remainder of the week, cold fronts crossing the northern U.S. will continue to spark scattered showers and locally severe thunderstorms. Late in the week, on June 26-27, rainfall activity will become more concentrated from the Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic States. As a result, 5-day rainfall totals could reach 2 to 5 inches from the middle Mississippi Valley into the Mid-Atlantic region. Meanwhile, beneficial showers will dot the Southeast, although amounts will be mostly 2 inches or less. Toward week’s end, monsoon-related showers may begin to develop in the Southwest. However, hot, dry weather will prevail across the remainder of the West. As the week progresses, heat will further intensify, especially in the Northwest, while cooler air will overspread the eastern half of the U.S.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of above-normal temperatures across southern Florida and the West, while cooler-than-normal conditions will cover much of the central and eastern U.S. Meanwhile, below-normal rainfall in southern Florida and from the Pacific Northwest into the upper Midwest will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather across most of the southern and eastern U.S.
