More rain for parts of the Heartland
Quick-hitting showers and thunderstorms will spread eastward from the nation’s mid-section, reaching the Ohio Valley on Saturday and subsequently moving into the South and East. Five-day rainfall totals could reach 1 to 3 inches in a broad area stretching from southern and eastern Texas into the Northeast. In contrast, mostly dry weather will prevail across Florida’s peninsula, the northern High Plains, and the Pacific Coast States. Meanwhile, warmth will continue to build across the Far West during the weekend and early next week, but cool air will again settle across the Midwest.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of below-normal temperatures in most areas east of a line from New Mexico to Wisconsin, while warmer-than-normal weather should prevail across Florida’s peninsula, the northern High Plains, and much of the West. Meanwhile, above-normal rainfall in the southern half of the U.S. will contrast with drier-than-normal conditions across the nation’s northern tier.
