More rain builds across the Corn Belt
A slow-moving storm emerging from the Southwest will help to focus rainfall. As a result, 5-day rainfall totals could reach 1 to 3 inches from the central and southern Rockies into the Mid-Atlantic States. Precipitation will be much lighter across the northern and southern tiers of the nation. Late in the week, however, showery weather will return to the Pacific Northwest and the northern Rockies. Meanwhile, temperatures will exhibit considerable variation (e.g. warming trend in the Southwest and a cooling trend in the Southeast), although cool weather will be persistent across the lower Great Lakes region and the Northeast.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of below-normal temperatures across much of the western and eastern U.S., while warmer-than-normal weather should be confined to southern Florida and the nation’s mid-section. Meanwhile, below-normal precipitation in the southern Rockies and most of the eastern half of the U.S. will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather in southern New England and from the Pacific Coast to the northern Plains.
