A cool-off ahead for the Nation’s Heartland
A developing storm system over the central U.S. will drift eastward, reaching the Mid-Atlantic region by Thursday and Friday. Rain associated with the storm could reach 2 to 4 inches from the middle Mississippi Valley to the Mid-Atlantic States. Shower activity will increase during the weekend in the Southeast, where 5-day totals could reach 1 to 2 inches. Meanwhile, monsoon-related showers will begin to develop in parts of the Southwest, particularly in the southern Rockies. In contrast, hot, dry weather will persist across the northern Rockies, Intermountain West, and Pacific Coast States. Weekend temperatures could approach 110° as far north as the interior Northwest, while markedly cooler air will arrive across 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, the northern High Plains, and much of the West, while cooler-than-normal conditions will cover most areas along and east of a line from New Mexico to Minnesota. Meanwhile, near- to above-normal rainfall across the majority of the U.S. will contrast with drier-than-normal weather in central and southern Florida and from the Pacific Northwest into the upper Midwest.
