Additional rain is likely to fall in already wet areas of the Southeast, while showers and thunderstorms will also continue across the northern Plains and Great Lakes States. Five-day rainfall totals in the Southeast could reach 1 to 2 inches; the Great Lakes States and the Ohio Valley can expect 1 to 3 inches. Rainfall across the nation’s northern tier should help limit any further drought growth in the region. However, dry conditions will continue across the southern High Plains, Four Corners States, and southern California. Meanwhile, warmer-than-average weather will persist from the central High Plains through the Ohio Valley and into the Northeast, while below-average temperatures should persist in the Pacific Northwest.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook indicates that above-average rainfall is expected through the eastern one-third of the country, with dry weather returning to the northern Plains and interior Northwest. Meanwhile, much warmer-than-normal conditions are likely in the western U.S. and along much of the Atlantic Seaboard, while cooler-than-normal weather should be limited to the upper Great Lakes region.
