During the next 5 days, little or no rain will fall across the southern two-thirds of the U.S. From California into the Southwest, persistent warmth will accompany the dry weather.
Meanwhile, only scattered showers will occur across the North, except for some heavier precipitation in the Pacific Northwest, northern Rockies, and Northeast. In fact, late-week rainfall could become heavy in the Northeast, where totals of 2 to 5 inches or more may occur.
