Unseasonably mild to warm, periodically active pattern ahead across much of the Heartland

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of below-normal temperatures from the Pacific Coast to western sections of Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and Arizona, while warmer-than-normal weather will dominate the central and eastern U.S. 

Meanwhile, near- or above-normal precipitation across most of the country should contrast with drier-than-normal conditions on the southern High Plains.
