Weather
Wet across the northern, eastern U.S.
A low-pressure system currently centered over the Mid-South will remain the focus for widespread showers. Meanwhile, a strong cold front crossing the northern Plains will push eastward, reaching the Atlantic Seaboard by week’s end. Combined, the two weather disturbances will produce an additional 1 to 3 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts, from the Mississippi Valley to the East Coast. In addition, rainfall associated with the cold front could reach 1 to 2 inches across portions of the Great Plains. Unusually cool air will trail the late-week cold front, especially across the northern and central Plains and the upper Midwest. Cooler air will also arrive across the Northwest toward week’s end.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for below-normal temperatures in much of the western half of U.S., except across the southern tier of the region. In contrast, warmer-than-normal weather will cover most of the East and Mid-South. Meanwhile, below-normal rainfall from California to the southern High Plains will contrast with wetter-than-normal conditions in the eastern and north-central U.S.
