Stormy weather to return to the central Heartland
During the next several days, very hot weather will persist across the central Plains and gradually build to encompass much of the central and eastern U.S. Meanwhile, much of the West will get a reprieve from extreme heat, with periods of below-normal temperatures expected in some areas. Farther east, rainy and stormy weather will return to parts of the northern and central Corn Belt, with 1- to 4-inch rainfall totals expected. Mostly light, scattered showers will affect the Eastern States, but an active monsoon circulation in the Southwest could result in flash flooding and 1- to 3-inch totals. In contrast, little or no rain will fall across the southern Plains, mid-South, and the Far West.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of above-normal temperatures nationwide, except for cooler-than-normal conditions in parts of the Northeast and Four Corners States. Meanwhile, near- to above-normal rainfall across the majority of the U.S. will contrast with drier-than-normal weather in the northern Plains and Northwest, much of the Southeast, and parts of the southern Plains.
