A surge of mild to warm weather ahead across the Heartland; a wet, active pattern to continue

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 southern Florida and the Southwest. 

Meanwhile, above normal precipitation in most areas east of a line from southern California to Minnesota should contrast with drier-than-normal weather in northern and central California and the Northwest, along with the Great Basin and northern sections of the Rockies and High Plains.
