• Stormy skies: A system will move out of the Rockies into the Plains at the start of the week, setting off showers and thunderstorms with a chance for severe weather. Over the second half of the week, the system will track to the East, bringing rain at the close of the work week. The West will see mostly dry weather.

Retail implications: Most of the Central and Western US will see temperatures that are slightly above to well above last year’s, resulting in promising comps to last year for seasonal goods such as iced beverages and T-‐shirts.
• Last year, this week’s temperatures were slightly below average: The US was the coolest it had been for the week since 2011. Rainfall during the week was above normal and the most seen since 2013.
• A cooler East: It will be cooler than normal and than last year in the eastern half of the country early in the week, and then warmer temperatures will return. The East Coast will stay cooler than last year.
