More cold weather ahead for the Heartland
A brief period of weekend warmth will come to an end early next week across the Rockies, Plains, Midwest, and mid-South. Later next week, cold weather will become re-established in all areas of the U.S., except from California into the Desert Southwest. Meanwhile, weekend rainfall will become widespread along and east of a line from the southeastern Plains to the upper Great Lakes region. Widespread totals of 1 to 2 inches can be expected, with 2- to 4-inch amounts possible across the lower Southeast. By Sunday, snow showers will return to the upper Midwest, followed by a new round of snow squalls in the Great Lakes region early next week. Elsewhere, mostly dry weather will prevail from southern California to the central and southern High Plains, but 5-day precipitation totals could reach 2 to 4 inches in the northern Rockies and 4 to 8 inches in parts of the Pacific Northwest.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for below-normal temperatures in most areas from the Rockies to the East Coast, while warmer-than-normal weather will be confined to the Far West. Meanwhile, near- to below-normal precipitation across the majority of the U.S. will contrast with wetter-than-normal conditions across the nation’s northern tier from Montana to Michigan.
