Unsettled Atlantic Pattern to Dominate, Though South and East Stay Relatively Dry

A mobile Atlantic regime will continue to steer our weather, bringing frequent showers or longer spells of rain to the west and north.

In contrast, the south and east will remain drier, with much of that region experiencing below-average rainfall and warmer-than-normal conditions over the next 10 days.

Cooler-than-average temperatures are expected in the west and north.
