Warm, largely dry pattern for the Heartland
A cold front pushing into the South will continue provided limited relief from hot, dry conditions. Five-day rainfall totals could reach 1 to 3 inches across the lower Southeast, with the highest amounts expected in Florida. However, unfavorably dry weather will persist in the south-central U.S., including the western Gulf Coast region. Meanwhile, cooler air will arrive late in the week across the Northwest, although an enhanced risk of wildfires will continue in parts of the Far West. Elsewhere, monsoon-related showers will temporarily abate in the Southwest, while late-week showers will develop across the nation’s northern tier.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of near- to above-normal temperatures nationwide, except for cooler-than-normal conditions across northern sections of the Rockies and High Plains. Meanwhile, near- to below-normal rainfall in many areas of the country will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather along and near the Gulf Coast and from the Four Corners region to the northern Plains and upper Great Lakes region.
