Late-season heat ahead for the Heartland; wet weather across northern reaches

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of above-normal temperatures nationwide, except for cooler-than-normal conditions in the Far West. 

Meanwhile, near- or below-normal rainfall across much of the country, including the East and the southern half of the U.S., should contrast with wetter-than-normal weather from the Pacific Northwest to the upper Great Lakes region.
