A pattern shift ahead; much cooler air on-the-move, an increase in showers/t-storms for many

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of near- or below-normal temperatures along and northwest of a line from central California to Lake Huron, while warmer-than-normal weather will prevail in the southern half of the U.S., as well as much of the Northeast and lower Midwest.

Meanwhile, near- or above-normal precipitation across most of the country should contrast with drier-than-normal conditions in the Pacific Northwest.
