Pleasant, late-Summer pattern for the Corn Belt

Over the next few days, the cold front descending from the upper Midwest will gradually move into the Southeast, generating locally strong thunderstorms and with it the potential for localized flooding in advance of a drier, somewhat cooler air mass. An elevated risk of severe weather is already anticipated Tuesday for the Ohio Valley and other locations along the front. Elsewhere, drier albeit cooler weather will dominate the northern Plains once Monday’s showers dissipate, with daytime highs expected to stay below 80° over much of North Dakota. Much of the West will remain dry, aside from scattered monsoon showers anticipated for New Mexico and Colorado. Heat and dryness, accompanied by light breezes, will likely sustain a risk of wildfire activity and poor air quality for parts of the Northwest.

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook depicts near- to below-normal rainfall for much of the Nation, the exception being the southern Plains and Gulf Coast States, where wetter conditions are expected. Warmer-than-normal weather is forecast to continue throughout the West, as well as in southern Florida, but below-normal temperature should prevail over most of the country from the Great Plains, eastward.
