Daily showers and thunderstorms will linger through week’s end in parts of the East, particularly across the Mid-Atlantic States.
Meanwhile, a series of disturbances will maintain cool conditions and periods of rain from the Pacific Northwest into the upper Midwest. Five-day rainfall totals could reach 2 to 4 inches in the upper Midwest and 1 to 2 inches on the northern Plains. In contrast, mostly dry weather will prevail into early next week across the southern half of the U.S., excluding the Atlantic Coast States.
Late in the week and into the weekend, heat will build across the South, East, and Midwest, with many locations expecting several days of 90-degree heat.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for near- to above-normal temperatures nationwide, except for cooler-than-normal conditions from the Pacific Northwest to the upper Midwest. Meanwhile, below-normal rainfall from the Pacific Coast to the southern Plains will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather from the northern Plains to the Atlantic Coast States.
