Warmer Than Average: Above-Normal Temperatures Across the Central U.S. This Week

WHAT TO EXPECT

A ridge of high pressure will build this week, keeping temperatures above average across the central U.S. Temperatures across the south will run 5°-10° above average, but in the northern Plains and Midwest, 10°- 20° above average! This will make for some warm weather for any fall activities you have planned.

NORTHERN PLAINS AND MIDWEST:

Temperatues will be quite warm in the coming days for this portion of the country. Most cities will see highs in the upper 60s and 70s! Rapid City normally has an average high of 59°, and on Thursday will have a high of 79°.

SOUTHERN U.S.

Temperatures will trend above average across portions of the south as well. Little Rock normally has a high of 73° and will reach 80° on Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures for this portion of the country will be in the 70s and 80s this week.

As we look ahead through the end of October, there is high confidence that much of the country will remain above average.
