Weather
A warm, dry pattern for much of the Heartland
During the next several days, the primary weather features will be a cold front crossing the southern and eastern U.S., followed by a mid- to late-week surge of monsoon-related moisture and its interaction with a storm developing over the nation’s mid-section. Five-day rainfall totals could reach 1 to 2 inches, with locally higher amounts, along the Atlantic Seaboard and from the Four Corners States into the upper Midwest. In contrast, little or no rain will fall in the Far West and a broad area centered on the middle Mississippi Valley and the interior Southeast. Elsewhere, heat will build eastward from the West to the High Plains, while the Midwest will experience several days of cool, dry weather.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of above-normal temperatures and below-normal rainfall across most of the country. Cooler- and wetter-than-normal conditions will be limited to the Northwest.
