U.S. Drought Monitor Weather Forecast: Next week’s forecast (June 9-16) calls for hot and relatively dry conditions as a ridge moves across the Great Plains, Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley, and Southeast. Significant rainfall accumulations are expected across the upper Midwest as thunderstorms move through the region. The National Weather Service 7-Day forecast also calls for dryness across much of California and northwestern Montana and accumulations of generally less than a half an inch across the lower elevations of the West. The Climate Prediction Center 6-10 day outlooks call for a continuation of above normal temperatures June 14-18 across the western two-thirds of the contiguous U.S. and a relief to the recent warmth in the Pacific Northwest and New England. As for precipitation, the odds favor above-normal accumulations in the Pacific Northwest, the Midwest, and the South while the Plains and Northeast are likely to be below normal.
