A cold front currently crossing the north-central U.S. will deliver cooler weather across the Midwest and East, starting late in the week and continuing through the weekend.
Showers and thunderstorms in advance of the front could result in 5-day rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches or more in the southern and eastern Corn Belt, extending eastward to the Appalachians. In contrast, little or no rain will fall across drought-affected areas of the northern Plains and upper Midwest.
