Weather
A drier pattern ahead across the Corn Belt
A slow-moving storm will reach the Northeast by week’s end, sparking rainfall that could total 1 to 3 inches across much of the eastern U.S. Some additional flooding can be expected from the middle Mississippi Valley into the lower Great Lakes region, especially in areas that were already experiencing high river levels prior to the arrival of the latest round of heavy rain. During the weekend and early next week, cooler weather and scattered showers will return to the West, while warm, dry weather will dominate the nation’s mid-section. Very cool weather will prevail, however, in the East, with frost possible early next week as far south as the northern Mid-Atlantic States.
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 in the Northeast and Southwest. Meanwhile, near- to below-normal precipitation across most of the eastern half of the U.S. will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather in New England and from the Pacific Coast to the High Plains.
