Beneficial Corn Belt rains to yield to cooler days
Late-summer heat will continue in much of the West and briefly spread eastward across the nation’s northern tier. Late in the weekend, however, cool weather will return to the Plains and eventually expand to cover much of the eastern half of the country.
Meanwhile, several disturbances will maintain showery conditions across large parts of the central and eastern U.S. Five-day rainfall totals could reach 1 to 3 inches or more in most areas from the Plains eastward. In contrast, little or no rain will fall across the Pacific Coast States and the Great Basin, as well as southern Texas.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of below-normal temperatures across much of the eastern half of the U.S., while hotter-than-normal weather will prevail from the High Plains westward, along with New England and southern sections of Texas and Florida. Meanwhile, near- to above-normal rainfall nearly nationwide should contrast with drier-than-normal conditions in the Northwest and a narrow strip from Texas to the central and eastern Corn Belt.
