A wetter pattern to unfold

For the remainder of Tuesday, scattered showers in the vicinity of a cold front will cross the southern and eastern U.S. After mid-week, another front will produce showers in the Great Lakes and Northeastern States. Meanwhile, a storm system arriving in the Southwest will result in widespread precipitation that will eventually encompass much of the western U.S. Five-day precipitation totals could reach 1 to 2 inches or more in Arizona and southern California, with most other parts of the West receiving less than an inch. Through mid-week, late-season warmth will dominate the western and central U.S. Late in the week, however, a surge of cool air will engulf the Midwest and East. In fact, widespread freezes can be expected across the Midwest and Northeast during the weekend and early next week. On the Plains, late-week cooling will be temporary, with warmth returning during the weekend.

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of above-normal temperatures throughout the western and central U.S., while cooler-than-normal conditions will be confined to the eastern U.S. from the Carolinas to New England. Meanwhile, near- to above-normal precipitation across the majority of the country will contrast with drier-than-normal weather in the interior Southeast, the mid-Atlantic region, and southern New England.
