Weather
A quiet pattern across the Heartland this week
For much of the week, unsettled weather will be limited to the Northwest. Five-day precipitation amounts could reach 4 to 8 inches or more in the Pacific Northwest, with totals in excess of a foot possible in the Olympic Mountains. In contrast, dry weather will prevail through week’s end across the southern half of the U.S., except in the southern Atlantic coastal plain. Across Florida’s peninsula, however, 5-day rainfall could total 1 to 3 inches. Elsewhere, fast-moving cold fronts will deliver generally light precipitation across the northern U.S. Thanksgiving Day should feature above-normal temperatures across the western and central U.S. and cool weather in the East, along with the likelihood of precipitation in the Northwest and a chance of rain along the southern Atlantic Coast.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of below-normal temperatures in the eastern U.S., while warmer-than-normal weather will stretch from the Pacific Coast to the High Plains. Meanwhile, below-normal precipitation from the central and southern Plains to the middle and southern Atlantic Coast should contrast with wetter-than-normal conditions in northern California and the Northwest.
