More hot, largely dry days ahead next week for much of the Heartland

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for near- or above-normal temperatures nationwide.  The greatest likelihood of extreme heat will cover the nation’s mid-section, including the Plains and the western Corn Belt. 

Meanwhile, near- or below-normal rainfall across most of the country should contrast with wetter-than-normal weather in the middle and southern Atlantic States and parts of the Southwest.
