Trend Alert - Wet Weather Ahead
Atmospheric conditions are shaping up for a wet end of April and start to May over a large part of the Middle U.S.
Cold and dry air over the Northwest U.S. will clash with warm and moist air anchored over the Southeast U.S. A southwest jet stream will eject weather systems from time to time into the middle of the nation resulting in frequent periods of rainfall.
Note the prospects of enhanced rainfall (anomaly), especially within darker shades of green, during the last week of April and the first week of May.
Here is the outlook for rainfall quantity (American GFS model) over the next 10 days.
Keep in mind that outlooks for specific amounts and locations of rain this far out can and likely will change — but right now weather models are indicating enhanced rainfall prospects over the next few weeks along with associated issues with soggy and wet fields.
