Tranquil weather will cover much of the country during the next 5 days. In fact, completely dry weather should prevail across much of California, the Great Basin, the northern and central Plains, and the Southeast.
Some precipitation will linger through the weekend, however, in southern Florida, New England, and the Great Lakes region. Five-day rainfall totals in New England could reach 2 to 4 inches. In the western U.S., any precipitation should be limited to the Desert Southwest and the Northwest, with the highest amounts (locally 2 to 4 inches or more) occurring along the northern Pacific Coast and in the northern Cascades.
