Unseasonably mild to warm weather ahead across the Heartland; showers on the Plains

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 parts of the Northeast. 

Meanwhile, below-normal precipitation from the central and southern Plains into the Northeast should contrast with wetter-than-normal weather in the Far West and Deep South, including California, Texas, and Florida.
