Unseasonably mild, near-record setting warmth next week, centered on the upper Midwest

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for near- or above-normal temperatures nationwide, with the greatest likelihood of warmer-than-normal weather focused across the upper Midwest. 

Meanwhile, near- or above-normal precipitation across most of the country should contrast with drier-than-normal conditions in southern California, the Desert Southwest, and the Atlantic Coast States from the Carolinas to southern New England.
