Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for near- or above-normal temperatures nationwide, except in the upper Great Lakes region, with the greatest likelihood of warmer-than-normal weather focused across southern Texas, peninsular Florida, and the western U.S.
Meanwhile, near- or above-normal rainfall across much of the southern and eastern U.S. should contrast with drier-than-normal weather from the Pacific Northwest into the upper Midwest, along with parts of Florida and southern Georgia.
