No shortage of rainfall ahead for the Heartland
A very active weather pattern will continue for the remainder of the week due to the interaction between cold fronts and tropical moisture. In fact, rain can be expected nearly everywhere during the next 5 days except in the Far West, where hot, dry weather will persist. Five-day totals could reach 1 to 3 inches, with locally higher amounts, in many locations, although the focus for heaviest rain will shift northwestward into parts of the Plains and upper Midwest as the week progresses. By week’s end, cool conditions will become established across the nation’s mid-section, including the Plains and upper Midwest, while heat will persist in the Far West and the Eastern States.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of below-normal temperatures in most areas from the Rockies to the Appalachians, while hotter-than-normal conditions will prevail in the Northwest and along the Atlantic Seaboard. Meanwhile, below-normal rainfall in much of the West will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather from the central and southern Plains to the Atlantic Coast.
