More rain for the Plains, Corn Belt
The slow-moving storm system that has been affecting the central and eastern U.S. will drift eastward, reaching northern New England by Sunday. The storm’s trailing cold front will clear the Atlantic Seaboard during the weekend. However, cool, breezy, showery conditions will linger through the weekend in the Northeast, where additional rainfall could reach 1 to 2 inches. Farther west, morning frost and freezes can be expected during the next few days across portions of the northern Plains and upper Midwest. Meanwhile, a new storm system will bring an increase in weekend showers (locally an inch or more) from the Pacific Northwest to the central Rockies. Farther east, showers and thunderstorms (generally 1 to 3 inches) will develop by early next week across the central and southern Plains before spreading into the mid-South and lower Midwest.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of near- to below-normal temperatures and near- to above-normal precipitation across most of the country. Warmer-than-normal weather should be limited to the South, from Texas to the southern Atlantic States, while drier-than-normal conditions will be confined to the upper Great Lakes region.
