A cooler pattern ahead for the Corn Belt
As a cold front passes through the mid-section of the country, cooler weather will follow. Showers and thunderstorms could provide limited drought relief on the northern Plains, but heavier rain will fall in parts of the Corn Belt. 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 northern and southern Plains. Elsewhere, monsoon-related showers in the Southwest and environs will contrast with hot, mostly dry weather in the Pacific Coast States.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of hotter-than-normal weather across the northern Plains, the West, and Florida’s peninsula, while below-normal temperatures can be expected in most areas from the central and southern Plains into the Southeast and lower Midwest. Meanwhile, drier-than-normal conditions across the northern U.S., including the Midwest, will contrast with above-normal rainfall in much of the South.
