Beneficial rains on the southern Plains
Showers and thunderstorms currently affecting portions of the southern and eastern U.S. will continue for the next several days. During the weekend, locally heavy rain will develop across the south-central U.S., where 5-day totals in parts of Texas could reach 4 to 8 inches or more. Heavy weekend rain (locally 1 to 3 inches) may also occur in the Mid-Atlantic coastal plain.
In contrast, mostly dry weather will prevail from the Pacific Coast to the northern Plains and upper Midwest, accompanied by significantly above-normal temperatures.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of near- to above-normal temperatures nationwide, except for cooler-than-normal conditions in parts of the south-central U.S. Meanwhile, below-normal rainfall across the lower Southeast and from the northern Rockies into the upper Midwest should contrast with wetter-than-normal weather in the Desert Southwest and from the southern Plains into the Northeast.
