Mild, wet weather to dominate much of the Heartland

An active weather pattern across the U.S. will continue for the next several days, with storms generally reaching the West Coast, re-emerging across the central and southern Plains, and lifting toward the Great Lakes region. Parts of the Intermountain West could receive 1 to 2 inches of precipitation, including high-elevation snow, during the next 5 days. Similar precipitation amounts can be expected across the mid-South and from the central Rockies into the Northeast. Each storm will have a trailing cold front capable of producing gusty winds and locally severe thunderstorms from the southern Plains into the mid-South. In addition, the southern High Plains may not receive enough rain to significantly reduce the threat of wildfires. Elsewhere, 5-day precipitation totals could reach 2 to 6 inches in northern California and the Pacific Northwest. Much of the nation will experience warm weather, with chilly conditions mostly restricted to the Northeast and the Far West.

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of warmer- and wetter-than-normal weather across the majority of the country. Below-normal temperatures will be limited to northern New England, while below-normal precipitation should be confined to California and southern Florida.
