Light to moderate rain is in store for the northern, western and central Midwest Friday. We'll also see a new round of thunderstorms in the north-central Plains. Other areas will be dry. Temperatures will again be seasonal to below normal over northern and central areas, and hot in the southern Plains through the southeastern U.S.
