Future U.S. Weather Past U.S Weather Morning Dom. Report Noon Update Evening/Weekend Update International Report Gary Rhea Commentary INTERNATIONAL MAPS InterRAD® RainRAD™ Tuesday, September 2, 2025 - Most of the Midwest was a little cooler than normal for this past August, in many areas - 0.5 to -1.5 degrees from normal. September is continuing this cooler trend. Today will be closer to normal, but a major cooling trend starting tomorrow in the northern Cornbelt and across the region the rest of the week into early next week. Daytime highs will be down to the 60's in the northern 2/3 of the region later this week and low 70's south portion. Widespread lows will be down into the 40's at this time, but a few northern areas will have lows in the mid to upper 30's which may bring patchy light frost, but not cold enough to cause aby crop damage. Cooler than normal temperatures will continue through the 6-10 day period in the Midwest, but not as cool as the next 5 days. There will be a change to a warmer pattern in the 11-15 day outlook as it looks warmer than normal across the Cornbelt at this time. Also, mostly below normal precipitation through the next couple weeks, except some above normal precip far west during the 11-15 day period.
