Download The Climate Impact Company U.S. Week 2-4 Outlook
Pictured: The Climate Impact Company week 2 precipitation and temperature anomaly forecast.
Next week the prevailing pattern across the U.S. favor persistence as dry to very dry conditions affect the Northwest and North-Central U.S. accompanied by robust anomalous heat. The Southwest U.S. wet monsoon is activated shifting north out of Old Mexico to suppress mid-summer heat in the 4 Corners region and across Texas. There is some disagreement on how wet the Southwest Monsoon becomes and whether a farther westward (into California) signature develops. In the East a warm and humid pattern is likely.

The last full week of July is not much different. Hot and dry weather affects the Northwest and Great Plains. The Southeast is adjusted hotter. The wet Southwest Monsoon unloads thunderstorm activity onto the 4 Corners region while the East Coast turns wetter than normal due to thunderstorm activity. North-Central U.S. drought is expanding southward toward the southern Plains while California and Northwest U.S. dry conditions are enhanced.
The week 4 ahead forecast (please see the attached report) maintains Great Plains dryness while the Southwest U.S. wet monsoon could strengthen.
