Weather
A wet, stormy pattern returns to the Plains
Cooler-than-normal conditions will persist through week’s end in the West, while temperatures will rebound to near- or above-normal temperatures in the central and eastern U.S. During the second half of the week, temperatures could approach 90° as far north as the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic States. Meanwhile, rain showers across the middle and northern Atlantic States will subside by mid-week. Farther west, unsettled weather—featuring heavy showers and locally severe thunderstorms—will persist for much of the week across the nation’s mid-section. Five-day rainfall totals could reach 2 to 4 inches or more from central and eastern Texas northward into the upper Mississippi Valley. Elsewhere, mostly dry weather will prevail across the Southwest and lower Southeast, while scattered Western showers could result in as much as 1 to 2 inches of precipitation from the Sierra Nevada to the northern Rockies.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of above-normal temperatures along the immediate Pacific Coast and from the Plains eastward, while cooler-than-normal conditions should dominate the West. Meanwhile, near- to above-normal rainfall across most of the country will contrast with seasonably dry weather in the Southwest.
