More cold weather for the Corn Belt
During the next several days, a stable ridge of high pressure dominating the western half of the U.S. will lead to warm, dry conditions from the Pacific Coast to the Plains. Temperatures above 80° can be expected at times from southern California to parts of western and southern Texas. Temperatures will top the 60-degree mark as far north as Montana’s High Plains. In contrast, cold, breezy, unsettled weather will dominate the Midwest and Northeast. The heaviest, early- to mid-week snowfall should fall across parts of New England, the northern Mid-Atlantic region, and downwind of the Great Lakes. No freezes are forecast for the Deep South, but sub-zero temperatures should occur late in the week from the Great Lakes region into northern New England. Mostly dry weather will prevail west of the Mississippi River, except for late-week precipitation in the Pacific Northwest.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of above-normal temperatures from the Pacific Coast to the Plains, while colder-than-normal conditions can be expected east of the Mississippi River. Meanwhile, below-normal precipitation across the Deep South and from California into the Southwest will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather across the northern U.S., as well as the southern Plains and the mid-Mississippi Valley.
