Next week’s weather pattern is looking very warm for almost the entire nation to the east of the Rockies. A strong high pressure ridge in the upper atmosphere, will bring sunshine and well above normal temps to much of the Plains and Eastern U.S. Here on the Eastern Seaboard, we may not be as far above average as areas to the west, but our temps. will be several degrees above average, and no significant precipitation is likely.

Odds of above normal temps next 7-10 days from NOAA:

Some areas will be as much as 16 degrees above average, as the map below shows. The numbers are the normal high temps. for a week from today.

Confidence in above normal temps. next week is quite high.
