A warm pattern to prevail across the Heartland

A developing storm system over the northern High Plains will drift eastward, reaching a position just north of the Great Lakes by early next week. Cool air trailing the storm will overspread the Plains and Midwest— although heat will return to the High Plains by Monday. Hot weather will also prevail across most of the western U.S. Five-day rainfall totals, mostly associated with the aforementioned storm system, could reach 1 to 2 inches or more from Oklahoma to Minnesota. Locally heavy showers will also affect the Southwest and the lower Southeast, including Florida, but mostly dry conditions will persist in the drought-stricken Far West.

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of above-normal temperatures across the nation’s mid-section, as well as the Deep South and the Atlantic Coast States. Meanwhile, cooler-than-normal conditions can be expected in much of the West and from the mid-South into the lower Great Lakes region. Elsewhere, near- to below-normal rainfall across much of the U.S. will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather across Florida’s peninsula and from the Pacific Northwest to the upper Great Lakes region.
