It has rained on most days since early June in many parts of the Midwest and the mid-Atlantic states. Is there any sign of a break in the rainy weather?
Dry weather will span from the central Great Lakes to most of the Northeast and northern mid-Atlantic Friday through Saturday. The rain-free conditions will dominate the latter regions still on Sunday, when storms will also depart the southern mid-Atlantic.
However, showers and thunderstorms will quickly make a comeback next week and prove that the dry spell is not the theme for the remainder of the month for the Midwest and mid-Atlantic.
Northeast Extended Regional Weather Forecast
According to AccuWeather Chief Long Range Meteorologist Paul
Pastelok, New England will continue to have some fairly decent breaks in
wet weather."More often than not, downpours will continue to favor the Ohio Valley and lower mid-Atlantic," Pastelok said. "The area from Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, part of Virginia, western Maryland and southwestern Pennsylvania will be in the zone of the most frequent rains."
Other frequent problem areas will be in parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and northeastern Missouri.

Much of the ground from the central and northern Plains to the Ohio Valley and part of the mid-Atlantic has become saturated or very damp at the least. Rivers and streams are running higher than average for July in this swath. In some cases, such as the Central states, rivers are still above flood stage and small streams may rise out of their banks from little additional rainfall.
Meanwhile, homeowners and landscaping crews may struggle to find time to cut grass during the wet pattern.
According to AccuWeather Meteorologist Eric Leister, "When you see a break coming your way on AccuWeather MinuteCast® for Your Location or the AccuWeather radar, you better take advantage of it."
The frequent rounds of rain have been a deterrent for outdoor activities such as golf, sports practice, ballgames and amusement parks. Meanwhile, places such as movie theaters and malls may be getting a boost from the rainy weather.
- Neven Prvinic · Follow · Top Commenter · Cleveland State UniversityToday is the ugliest July day in my memory, i can not think of any day last July this ugly. We had some windy chilly days in July 2014, but this one takes a cake. It has poured (not just rained but poured) entire day since before the dawn and i do not think we even hit 70 today. In fact i would really have to look hard to find a day this ugly (outside of winter storms) in any time of the year in recent years. I am giving this sorry excuse for summer 10 days to shape up before i just write it off, give up on it and want to skip it and never remember it again, and let fall just get here and hopefully in 2016 we may get something that looks like summer. This is trully a shame.
Mary Coakley-Knapp · Top CommenterUpstate NY has been saturated for a month now. Flooding rainfalls, cool temperatures, gardens that are root rotting or molding. Flowers are anemic. All this after a subzero winter. I feel bad for the people who depend on summer weather to make a living. It's almost mid July and rain is forecasted continuously for the next few weeks with few breaks of sun and warm....
