Largely dry; heat to expand across the Heartland

During the next 5 days, mostly dry weather will cover large sections of the country, including the Plains, Midwest, and Far West. Meanwhile, showers associated with the Southwestern monsoon circulation will diminish in coverage and intensity—but will continue through mid-week in the Rockies and neighboring areas. Farther east, significant rain will fall from the central Gulf Coast region to the southern Atlantic Coast.

Five-day rainfall totals could reach 5 to 10 inches or more in the coastal Carolinas. Mid- to late-week showers may extend northward along the Atlantic Seaboard, reaching New England.

As the week progresses, cooler air will overspread the northern Plains and the Northwest, while heat should build across the central and southern Plains. Some heat will also return across the western Corn Belt, but Midwestern temperatures east of the Mississippi River should remain below 90°F for the remainder of the week.

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of near- or below-normal temperatures in much the West, while hotter-than-normal conditions will dominate the central and eastern U.S.

Meanwhile, near- or below-normal rainfall across most of the country should contrast with wetter-than-normal weather in the Midwest and along the Canadian border from Washington to Montana.
