Late-summer heat will persist in the West and spread eastward across the nation’s northern tier, reaching the northern High Plains by mid-week and the Great Lakes region by week’s end. Meanwhile, showery weather will prevail across large sections of the country.
During the next 5 days, some of the heaviest rain (locally 1 to 4 inches or more) will fall from central sections of the Rockies and Plains into the southern and eastern Corn Belt.
