Discussion
The north-central and northwestern parts of the nation will experience warmer-than-normal conditions this week as upper-level high pressure ridging intensifies over that region, but northwest flow aloft across the Northeast US will bring some comfortable air this way. Our high temperatures are likely to be near 90 degrees for the next couple of days, but the more comfortable air will push this way for much of the second half of the week. Elsewhere, monsoonal moisture will continue to push into the “Four Corners” region of the Southwest US resulting in additional heavy rainfall for that part of the nation.
