More rain for the water-logged upper Midwest
Looking ahead, a vigorous storm system currently centered over the northern Intermountain region will drift eastward, reaching North Dakota on Saturday and the upper Great Lakes region early next week. Additional precipitation related to the storm and its trailing cold front could total an inch or more in waterlogged sections of the upper Midwest; 1 to 3 inches from northern Utah to the northern Plains; and 2 to 6 inches in the south-central U.S., including parts of Texas. However, shower activity in the vicinity of the cold front will diminish early next week across the eastern U.S. A brief push of cool air will trail the storm system and cold front, but temperatures will rebound to above-normal levels across Far West during the weekend and much of the western and central U.S. during the early to middle part of next week.
The 6- to 10-day outlook calls for near- to above-normal temperatures nationwide, except for cooler-than-normal conditions in the Pacific Northwest. Meanwhile, near- to below-normal precipitation across most of the country will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather on the northern Plains and across the Deep South from southern Texas to Florida’s peninsula.
