A cooler, drier pattern ahead for the Corn Belt

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day and 8 to 14-day outlooks call for the likelihood of warmer-than-normal conditions in the Northeast, Southwest, Great Basin, and Pacific Coast States, while near- or below-normal temperatures will cover the remainder of the country.

Meanwhile, near or below-normal precipitation across most of the country should contrast with wetter-than-normal weather in the Northeast, the later in the period, on the southern Plains and across the lower Mississippi Valley.
