Excessively wet across parts of the Plains, Corn Belt
A pair of slow-moving storms will help to focus heavy rainfall across the nation’s mid-section during the next several days. Starting late Friday, showers and thunderstorms will become more concentrated in a line from the Great Lakes region to northern Texas.
Rain will fall across the same general area into next week, leading to 5-day totals that could reach 2 to 10 inches from the southern Plains into the upper Midwest. As a result, another significant river flood event could unfold across the upper Midwest, with flash flooding possible across a much broader area.
Elsewhere, periods of snow will affect the Rockies and northern Plains, while very warm weather will continue in the Southeast and along the Atlantic Seaboard.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for above-normal temperatures along and east of a line from southern Texas to Michigan, while cooler-than-normal conditions will cover the Plains, West, and upper Midwest. Meanwhile, wetter-than-normal weather nearly nationwide should contrast with below-normal precipitation in the Pacific Northwest.
