Weather
A much wetter pattern to evolve across the Heartland
Much cooler air will arrive at mid-week in the Pacific Coast States and spread eastward, reaching the Rockies and northern High Plains by week’s end. The remainder of the U.S. will continue to experience summerlike warmth, with temperatures topping 100° at least as far north as South Dakota through September 3. Meanwhile, shower activity will be widely scattered during the next few days, but become more organized toward the end of the week across the lower Southeast, the northern Plains, and the upper Midwest. Five-day rainfall totals could reach 1 to 2 inches or more in the aforementioned regions, particularly across Florida and from the northern Rockies to northern Minnesota. In contrast, little or no rain will fall in California, the Great Basin, and from the southern Plains into the mid-Mississippi Valley.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of warmer-than-normal weather along the Pacific Coast and east of a line from the southern Plains into the upper Mississippi Valley. Meanwhile, below-normal temperatures will cover the Rockies and northern High Plains. Elsewhere, drier-than-normal conditions in southern Texas and the Northwest will contrast with near- to above-normal precipitation across the remainder of the country.
