Moisture, chilly air to dominate much of the Heartland
Rain across the nation’s mid-section will gradually shift eastward in conjunction with a slow-moving cold front, reaching the Atlantic Seaboard by Friday. Additional precipitation could total 2 to 4 inches, with locally higher amounts, from eastern Texas into the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys. During the weekend, a storm system traversing the nation’s northern tier will produce rain and snow from the northern Plains into the Northeast. Meanwhile, dry weather will prevail during the next 5 days in the West, except for some light precipitation in the Pacific Northwest and northern and central Rockies. Elsewhere, a surge of very cold air will reach the northern Plains and upper Midwest toward week’s end.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of below-normal temperatures from the Plains to the middle and northern Atlantic States, while warmer-than-normal weather will prevail west of the Rockies and along and near the Gulf Coast. Meanwhile, near- to above-normal precipitation across most of the country should contrast with drier-than-normal weather in much of California and the Southwest.
