No shortage of rain, severe weather next week

A procession of disturbances will maintain unsettled, showery conditions across large parts of the U.S. For the remainder of Thursday, significant rain will spread from the Great Lakes region into the Northeast, while showers and locally severe thunderstorms will stretch from the lower Great Lakes States to the southern Plains. Late in the week, a storm system emerging from the West will produce heavy showers from the southern Plains into the Southeast. Cool air in the storm’s wake should result in weekend freezes as far south as the central High Plains. Five-day rainfall totals could reach 2 to 4 inches or more from the mid-South into the southern Mid-Atlantic States. In contrast, dry weather will prevail from southern California to the Rio Grande Valley.

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of near- to above-normal temperatures and precipitation across large sections of the country. Cooler-than-normal conditions should be confined to the northern Plains, Northwest, and Intermountain West, while drier-than-normal weather will be limited to the Rio Grande Valley and the eastern U.S.
