Next week an intense upper trough shifts east SLOWLY causing widespread rain across the Northeast States with a trailing cool air mass hovering across the Great Plains to the Ohio Valley. Unlike the last cool spell there is no freeze threat this time. If the tail end of the cold front supported by the upper trough stalls Texas to Oklahoma could be wetter than indicated next week. The heat risk flips to the West Coast next week for the first time this warm season.

The extended-range forecast through early and middle June indicates the Great Plains is at risk for wet weather although not in the same location from week-to-week. Late May into early June the storm track stretches across the U.S. from the northern Rockies to the Lower Missouri Valley to the Northeast States as fast-moving frontal systems bring persistent showers. June 4-10 brings a wet focus to the northern Plains and Texas with severe storms possible. A larger wet pattern evolves across Texas and the western Plains mid-June.
