Next 10-days Upper-Level Weather Pattern | ECMWF AIFS
Watching for any ridge development over the Lower 48 for a “heat dome” but not seeing sustained heat waves in the next 10-days. Instead, more mobile troughs arriving from NW Canada and Alaska rotating into the Pacific Northwest and then through the Great Lakes. Each of those will be the focus of rainfall — so pretty good for anyone trying to grow things!
NWS WPC 7-Day Precipitation Forecast | Watering Needs
Focus for heavy rainfall amounts over the next week centered over Texas to the central Plains.
