Discussion: No shortage of dryness and attendant heat indicated in the updated Climate Impact Company week 2-4 forecast for the U.S. Climate Impact Company issued a drought watch for the Great Plains last month. The drought watch remains in effect for north and west portions of the Great Plains. The northern Great Plains is already in drought and southward expansion will happen in July. A short distance to the east the Midwest U.S. is wetter than normal through 10 days and dries to normal through middle July with some legitimate dry climate holding off until the last full week of July. The outlook for the remainder of the Great Plains is dry well into July. Hot weather will accompany the dryness focused on the western Plains days 6-10 and mostly the Northwest U.S. through the middle third of July. A pulse of important heat is added to the forecast for July 16-22 in the Northeast. In the week 4 forecast the pattern is likely to change. A tropically wet pattern in the Southeast week 3 ahead expands along the eastern Seaboard late in July with a following cool air mass generated by an upper trough anchoring over the Midwest U.S.
