Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of near- or below-normal temperatures in the West, while warmer-than-normal weather will cover most areas east of the Rockies.
Meanwhile, near- or below-normal precipitation in a broad area stretching from California and the Desert Southwest to the northern Plains and upper Midwest should contrast with wetter-than-normal conditions across the remainder of the U.S., including the Pacific Northwest and all areas east of a line from the southern High Plains to Lake Michigan.
