Beneficial rains ahead on the Plains
Tropical moisture over the eastern U.S. will continue to spark locally heavy showers into the weekend. Additional rainfall could reach 2 to 5 inches from Florida into the northern Mid-Atlantic States. Meanwhile, disturbances crossing the western and central U.S. will maintain showery, unsettled weather in several regions, including the Plains, Northwest, and upper Midwest. In fact, only southern California, the Desert Southwest, and the western Gulf Coast region will receive little or no rain. During the weekend, a quick surge of cool air could result in some frost across the northern Plains.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of near- to above-normal temperatures and rainfall across most of the country. Warmth will be most prominent across the nation’s mid-section, while drier-than-normal weather should be limited to central and southern Texas and from the Great Lakes region to New England.
