A cold wave pattern ahead for all of the Heartland; an active pattern to continue

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of near- or above-normal temperatures along and near the Atlantic Coast, while colder-than-normal conditions will cover the remainder of the country. 

Meanwhile, near- or above-normal precipitation across most of the U.S. should contrast with drier-than-normal weather in parts of Washington and from southern Arizona to the southern Plains.
