Pictured: The Climate Impact Company week 3 and 4 ahead temperature anomaly forecast for the U.S.
In the extended-range Climate Impact Company remains convinced that the national warmer-than-normal climate pattern will return. The highest risk of strongest temperature anomalies is across the northwest Great Plains where sol moisture deficits are largest. An area of heavy rain and thunderstorms may align across the Upper Midwest/Midwest in this pattern delineating a sharp wet-to-dry transition in the corn and soybean growing areas. The Gulf of Mexico region is likely to stay shower/thundery suppressing anomalous heat.
The short-term forecast finds a cool pattern the next 3-4 days Central and Est eroding mid-to-late week. During that cool to warm transition a significant rainfall event is expected in the Midwest producing several in. of rain. Trailing this wet weather event hot and humid weather emerges in-part due to the excessive heat in California and the Southwest budging eastward.
