Milder to warmer days ahead for the Heartland next week; a somewhat drier pattern

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 southern Atlantic region. 

Meanwhile, near- or above-normal precipitation across much of the eastern and western U.S. should contrast with drier-than-normal weather across most of the nation’s mid-section, as well as the Gulf Coast region.
