...Cooler temperatures and beneficial precipitation expected through
midweek across the northern tier states...

...Very warm weather including some record high temperatures can be
expected along with dry conditions for much of the Central and Eastern
U.S. through the middle of the week...

...Some rain to begin impacting parts of the South by Thursday...

An upper level trough advancing eastward across the northern tier states
will keep unsettled conditions in store for the next few days. As the
upper trough moves through the west-central portions of the country cool
Pacific moisture will advect into the West resulting in below seasonal
normal temperatures along with scattered rain/snow showers for the Pacific
Northwest and Northern Rockies. The snow likely remain confined to the
highest elevations of the Cascades and Northern Rockies. In its wake high
pressure will build over the West Wednesday and Thursday while lingering
precipitation tapers off.

Diffluence associated with the aforementioned upper trough will generate
light mixed precipitation from the Northern Plains to the Northeast
through the end of the week. A deep mid-latitude cyclone will have
developed by Thursday over the Midwest and will spread showers and
isolated thunderstorms into the interior Northeast. Showers and
thunderstorms will also develop along the attendant cold front over the
Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley by then. Cooler air will
filter into the Upper Midwest, Great Lakes and the Northeast on the
backside of the low pressure system. Meanwhile, snow showers will spread
south across the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday into Thursday morning.
There is a Critical Risk for wildfires today given the the dry and windy
conditions over the Southern High Plains of eastern New Mexico into the
Texas Panhandle. Southerly flow across the Central and Southeastern U.S.
will produce anomalous warmth for much of the Great Plains to the East
Coast before the cold front sweeps through on Thursday. Many places from
the Southern Plains to the Central/Southern Appalachians may experience
record high temperatures today and Wednesday.
