A wetter pattern ahead for the Heartland
In the West, late-season warmth and mostly dry conditions will promote summer crop maturation and harvesting, as well as winter wheat planting. Farther east, however, a series of cold fronts will maintain showery conditions and introduce progressively cooler weather across parts of the central and eastern U.S. A Frost Advisory has already been issued for Wednesday morning for portions of western Nebraska and environs. By week’s end, freezes will likely end the growing season across portions of the northern Plains and upper Midwest.
Meanwhile, 5-day rainfall totals could reach 1 to 3 inches in the South and East, with lesser amounts expected across the Plains and Midwest.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for below-normal temperatures in the Pacific Coast States and from the northern Rockies into the upper Great Lakes region, while warmer-than-normal weather should stretch from the Four Corners States into the middle and southern Atlantic States. Meanwhile, wetter-than-normal conditions should dominate the country, with near-normal precipitation limited to portions of the middle and southern Atlantic States.
