NOAA issued new temperature and precipitation probability forecasts today. The temperature outlook remains unchanged featuring warmer than normal risk for the West, South and East U.S. while no skill in the forecast was indicated across the North-Central States. The Climate Impact Company forecast is not as warm and features a cool anomaly across the northern Continental Divide with a hotter than normal regime across the Far South and East Coast. The precipitation outlook by NOAA indicates no skill across most of the U.S. with the exception of a large wetter than normal anomaly across the northern and central Continental Divide. By comparison the Climate Impact Company forecast is also wetter than normal in the Continental Divide region but also wet in the Midwest U.S. The Climate Impact Company forecast is drier than normal in California and the Southeast States.
