Weather
An active pattern ahead for much of the Heartland
High pressure currently centered over the south-central U.S. will slide east, providing sunny skies and near- to above-normal temperatures to the eastern third of the nation. Meanwhile, a disturbance over the northern High Plains will race southeastward, generating upslope snows over the northern and central Rockies.
As energy from this disturbance reaches the western Gulf Coast States by week’s end, a new area of low pressure coupled with abundant Gulf moisture will lead to increasingly heavy rainfall spreading northeastward from the Mississippi Delta into the lower Ohio Valley, with scattered showers developing across the lower Southeast.
Concurrently, the coldest air of the season will surge southward from central Canada over the nation’s mid-section Saturday and Sunday, with temperatures averaging 10 to 20° below normal over much of the Great Plains and Mississippi Valley by early next week.
Out west, dry, warmer-than-normal weather will linger into the weekend, before the aforementioned cold air encroaches from the north and east.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for below-normal temperatures from the Pacific Coast to the Mississippi Valley, with warmer-than-normal conditions limited to the Southeast and Atlantic Coast States.
Meanwhile, above-normal precipitation east of the Rockies should contrast with drier-than-normal conditions across much of the West
Your weather report on KFIL radio (Preston MN) is far to vague to glean any information from. We are turned listening for a report of our general area but the reports are so wide spread and we can not tell what the local weather is going to be.
You market reports are great ! Please try to give more precise detailed areas for the weather areas instead of ” Upper Mississippi Valley” or “Upper Central Corn Belt” that is way to wide spread to help anyone know what the weather is going to be in their area.
Thanks,
