Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of near- or above-normal temperatures nationwide, except for cooler-than-normal conditions in the upper Great Lakes region, along the middle Atlantic Coast, and across parts of the Southwest.
Meanwhile, near- or below-normal rainfall across most of the eastern half of the U.S. should contrast with near- or above-normal rainfall in much of the West. Exceptions to that pattern may include wet weather in the upper Great Lakes region and dry conditions in the northern Great Basin.
Seasonal warmth; a wetter pattern to evolve on the Plains, parts of the Corn Belt
