Warmer, rains to return to the Great Plains
Cool weather will gradually ease its grip across the central and eastern U.S. During the weekend, temperatures will rebound to near- or above-normal levels across the nation’s mid-section, while progressively cooler air will engulf the West. Farther east, lingering cool weather will be confined to the Atlantic Seaboard by early next week. Meanwhile, precipitation associated with a slow-moving Northwestern storm could reach 1 to 3 inches. During the weekend, showers and thunderstorms will erupt across the Plains. Mostly dry weather will prevail, however, in southern California and the Southwest. Elsewhere, precipitation will shift from the southcentral U.S. into the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic States during the weekend, with storm-total rainfall expected to reach 1 to 4 inches.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of above-normal temperatures across most of the eastern half of the U.S., while cooler-than-normal conditions will cover the West. Meanwhile, near- to above-normal rainfall across most of the country will contrast with drier-than-normal weather in the Southwest and the Atlantic Coast States.
