A seasonally mild, largely tranquil pattern to return to much of the Heartland next week

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of near- or above-normal temperatures and near- or below-normal precipitation across most of the country.  Cooler-than-normal conditions will be confined to areas along and near the Gulf Coast.

Meanwhile, wetter-than-normal weather should be limited to the lower Rio Grande Valley, peninsular Florida, and portions of the north-central U.S.
