Weather

Temps ahead to vary (seasonal to above) for the Heartland; organized rains for many to yield to a much drier pattern

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for near- or above-normal temperatures nationwide, with the western U.S. having the greatest likelihood of experiencing unusual warmth.

Meanwhile, near- or below-normal precipitation across most of the country, including the Midwest, should contrast with wetter-than-normal weather from the southern and coastal Texas to the southern Atlantic Coast.
