Weather
Near-seasonal pattern across much of the Heartland
Two disturbances—one over the Southeastern U.S. and the other approaching the Pacific Northwest—will generate pockets of unsettled weather. The Southern storm will cross the southern Atlantic Coast by mid-week; storm-total rainfall could reach 1 to 2 inches or more (excluding Florida’s peninsula).
The Northern system will contribute to several days of unsettled weather from the Northwest to the nation’s mid-section, followed by a surge of chilly air. Some of the heaviest precipitation (1 to 2 inches or more) may fall from the Pacific Northwest to the northern Rockies and upper Midwest. At higher elevations of the Northwest, precipitation will fall as snow.
Late in the week, some snow may also accumulate across the northern Plains and far upper Midwest. In contrast, dry weather will prevail through week’s end from southern California to the southern Rockies.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of above-normal temperatures across the Deep South and the Atlantic Coast States, while cooler-than-normal conditions will stretch from the Pacific Northwest to the Plains and upper Midwest.
