A weather pattern featuring mostly dry conditions and coast-to-coast warmth will undergo some significant changes during the next few days.
Warm, dry weather will continue, however, during the next 5 days in most areas from the Mississippi Valley eastward, while cool, wetter-weather will gradually overspread the West. By early next week, cool air will also reach the Plains, preceded and accompanied by scattered showers.
Five-day precipitation totals could reach 1 to 2 inches or more in scattered locations across the West, mainly in the Cascades, Sierra Nevada, Rockies, and Four Corners region.
