Pictured: The Climate Impact Company 6-10/11-15 day precipitation anomaly forecast for the U.S. is indicated.
As the recent cool pattern in the Central U.S. breaks down two areas of heavy rain are indicated in forecast models. One is across the Mid-South ad the other in the Midwest through the next 5 days. Heavy to possible severe thunderstorms are indicated. The drought-parched portion of Iowa is likely to see some of this rain. In the 6-10 day period the wet weather is mostly in the East while the national pattern trends warmer. A low confidence forecast indicates a persistent frontal boundary could focus heavy rains on Iowa into early next week. In the 11-15 day period the trend is drier in the Great Plains. The tropics could become more active after mid-August including a possible future for a vigorous tropical wave moving off the West Africa coastline today.
