Wetter days ahead for the Corn Belt

Looking ahead, a low-pressure system crossing the northern U.S. and southern Canada will move steadily eastward. The storm’s trailing cold front will spark scattered showers and thunderstorms, resulting in 5-day rainfall totals that could reach 1 to 2 inches from the Plains eastward. However, significant rainfall will bypass the Southeast. Meanwhile, Tropical Depression Julia should remain nearly stationary but continue to weaken, as dry air and wind shear disrupt the circulation. Elsewhere, mostly dry weather will prevail in the western U.S., except for some weekend showers in the Northwest. By early next week, temperatures will rebound to, or remain at, above-normal levels nearly nationwide.

The 6- to 10-day outlook calls for near- to above-normal temperatures nationwide, except in the northern Rockies. The eastern one-third of the U.S. will have the greatest likelihood of warm weather. Meanwhile, near- to below-normal precipitation in the Northeast and from Oregon and California to the central High Plains will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather from the Gulf Coast States northward into the Midwest.
