Weather
In the Southeast, rounds of showers and storms may bring 2 to 6 inches of rain, especially across northern Florida. While the moisture will benefit crops and soils, it could also lead to localized flooding.
Meanwhile, hot and dry conditions will continue across the western U.S., putting additional stress on dryland crops, pastures, and livestock. Temperatures in the northern Plains could climb to 105 to 110 degrees this weekend, while dangerous heat lingers across the southern Plains and Desert Southwest.
Looking ahead to August 4th through the 8th, above-normal temperatures are expected across most of the country. Most regions are also likely to see near- to above-normal rainfall, except for the northern Great Basin, northern High Plains, and the Northwest, where drier conditions are favored.
