A wetter pattern across the southern-half of the Nation, including the drought-ridden Plains

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of near- or above-normal temperatures and rainfall across much the country. 

However, cooler-than-normal conditions will stretch from the Southwest across the central and southern Plains and into the mid-South and middle Mississippi Valley, while drier-than-normal weather should prevail in the Pacific Northwest and across portions of the northern Plains and upper Midwest.
