MIDWEST U.S. - 1

Moderate to heavy rainfall was observed last night and early today over a large swath of the central midwest the past 24 hours. Unfortunately, it appears that an area in east central to northeast Iowa missed out on the heavy rain. The 6-10 day ECMWF suggests cooler than normal temperatures across the southern plains with near normal temperatures in the cornbelt. The ECMWF EPS is forecasting warmer than normal temperatues across the midwest for the 11-15 day period while maintaining near normal temperatures in the southern plains. This interesting as I have seen this pattern trend toward normal to warmer conditions in the 11 to 15 day period. Possibly this is the warm bias in the models. The CFSv2 3rd week continues to show cooler weather in the southern plains. Rain is forecast for southern Canada and the northern plains in the immediate future.
