Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of below-normal temperatures across much of the eastern half of the U.S., while warmer-than-normal weather should prevail in parts of Maine, southern Florida, the central High Plains, and much of the West.
Meanwhile, near- or above-normal precipitation across most of the country should contrast with drier-than-normal conditions in the Pacific Northwest and from the middle Mississippi Valley into the Northeast.
