The week after next the ensembles indicate continued above to well-above average temperatures in the east, east of a line from Chicago to SW New Mexico. In the west generally below average with well below average over the Northern Rocky Mountain States. The one western exception will be So Cal where seasonable temperatures are expected.

This week the strong heat anomolies in the east have retreated a little further south than last week, with a stalled low pressure area keeping New England relatively cool and the rest of the NE near normal. The NYC area can expect near-normal temperatures, i.e 10-15 F lower than last week. Over the SE and the Gulf Coast states, conditions will remain anaomalously warm, near 10F above normal.

Some weak storms will slump south from the main jet stream axis over weathern Canada and the Northern Rockies and head SE as far as the southeastern seaboard by the end of the week. These will bring a risk at times of severe thunderstorms to much of the upper midwest and into the SE.
There is no precipitation foreseeable to dampen the Arizona wildfires currently underway.
