Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for near- or below-normal temperatures in the West, while warmer-than-normal weather will prevail east of the Rockies.
Meanwhile, near- or below-normal precipitation in the south-central U.S. and parts of the northern Plains should contrast with wetter-than-normal conditions across the remainder of the country, with the greatest likelihood of wet weather in California and the Great Basin.
