Weather
Summer-like across the Heartland
A low-pressure system currently over the northern Plains will drift east-southeastward, reaching the Mid- Atlantic States by Thursday. The storm system will help to focus rainfall that could total 1 to 3 inches from the Dakotas to the Mid-Atlantic coast. Meanwhile, a separate area of showers should result in 1- to 2-inch rainfall totals in the Southeast. Elsewhere, dry weather will prevail from central and southern California into the Southwest, while showers will linger through week’s end in the Northwest. Very cool weather in the Northwest will contrast with hot conditions across much of the nation’s mid-section; mid- to late-week maximum temperatures will frequently exceed 100° as far north as the central Plains. Toward week’s end, heat will also return to California and the Desert Southwest.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of near- to above normal temperatures nationwide, except for cooler-than-normal conditions along the southern Mid-Atlantic coast. Meanwhile, below-normal precipitation across most of the country will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather in southern Florida, the upper Great Lakes region, and the western Gulf Coast region.
