A wetter pattern for the Plains, western Corn Belt

For the remainder of Tuesday, showers will linger across the Atlantic Coast States and the Deep South. Meanwhile, a low-pressure system over the Great Lakes region will drift southward toward the central Appalachians, helping to focus heavy, mid- to late-week rainfall (locally 2 to 6 inches) in the northern Mid-Atlantic States and environs. Showers will linger into the weekend across southern Florida and the Northeast, but most other areas east of the Rockies—including the waterlogged upper Midwest—will experience several days of dry weather. Farther west, mid- to late-week showers will spread northward from the Southwest to the northern Rockies, while a separate area of precipitation will arrive in the Pacific Northwest. Very warm will prevail during the next several days from the Pacific Coast to the High Plains, followed by a weekend cooling trend in the Far West.

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of above-normal temperatures across the eastern half of the U.S., while cooler-than-normal conditions can be expected in the West. Meanwhile, near- to below-normal rainfall in much of the South, East, and lower Midwest will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather across Florida’s peninsula and from northern California and the Pacific Northwest eastward to the Plains and upper Midwest.
