More unsettled weather the Heartland
A storm system currently centered over the Tennessee Valley will drift northeastward, reaching coastal New England by Friday. Meanwhile, another low-pressure system will cross southern Canada, with a disturbance along the storm’s trailing cold front emerging across the nation’s mid-section during the weekend. Five-day rainfall totals could reach 1 to 3 inches across much of the eastern one-third of the U.S., with much-needed rain expected later Wednesday across Florida’s peninsula. Totals of 1 to 2 inches may occur across central sections of the Rockies and Plains, mainly on Friday. Elsewhere, little or no precipitation should occur in California, the Great Basin, and the Southwest. Following a brief spell of cooler weather, warmth will return across much of the West late in the weekend and early next week. At the same time, the South and East should experience a brief weekend warm spell.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of below-normal temperatures from the Plains to the western slopes of the Appalachians, while warmer-than-normal weather should prevail along the Atlantic Seaboard and across much of the West. Meanwhile, near- to above-normal rainfall across most of the country will contrast with drier-than-normal conditions from the Pacific Northwest into the upper Midwest.
