Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of below-normal temperatures across the northern High Plains and the West, while warmer-than-normal weather will prevail east of a line from the southern Rockies into the upper Great Lakes region.
Meanwhile, near- or below-normal precipitation across the Deep South and along the Pacific Coast should contrast with wetter-than-normal conditions in much of the northern two-thirds of the U.S.
