Cooler days ahead for the Heartland
A pair of cold fronts will traverse the country, preceded and accompanied by scattered showers and thunderstorms. A period of cooler, less humid weather will trail each of the fronts. For the remainder of Monday, showers will primarily affect the South and East. Subsequently, showers will affect the upper Midwest and neighboring areas on Tuesday; the Corn Belt by mid-week; and the South and East toward week’s end. Five-day rainfall totals could reach 1 to 3 inches across the eastern half of the U.S., with somewhat lower amounts expected across the Plains. Core drought areas of the northern Plains should remain mostly dry. Elsewhere, monsoon-related showers in the Southwest (and environs) will contrast with hot, mostly dry weather in California and the Northwest.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of hotter-than-normal weather across the West and the Deep South, while near- to below-normal temperatures can be expected in most areas from the Plains to the East Coast. Meanwhile, drier-than-normal conditions across the northern U.S. will contrast with above-normal rainfall in much of the South
