A stalled front across the central and eastern U.S. will combine with a western storm system to bring additional snow to the northern and central Rockies this week.
For agriculture, the biggest story is the potential for 2 to 6 inches or more of rain over the next five days from the southeastern Plains and western Gulf Coast into the Ohio Valley.
While the moisture will benefit soil conditions, it could also delay fieldwork and increase concerns about overly wet fields.
Elsewhere, dry weather is expected across the Pacific Coast, Great Basin, and Desert Southwest, with only light showers possible in the upper Great Lakes and lower Southeast.
The NWS 6- to 10-day outlook favors near- to above-normal temperatures and precipitation across much of the country, with cooler-than-normal conditions mainly limited to parts of the Pacific Northwest.
