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 along portions of the Pacific Coast.
Meanwhile, above-normal precipitation along and east of a line from New Mexico to the Red River Valley of the North should contrast with drier-than-normal weather from California to the Intermountain West and across northern sections of the Rockies and High Plains.
