Headlines

The forecast mean upper-level pattern during the Week-2 period shows a deep trough over Alaska into the north Pacific, ridging near the Southwest CONUS coast and a trough over the eastern CONUS. This forecast pattern favors below-normal temperatures for Alaska and most of the eastern CONUS, with above-normal temperatures most likely for most of the western CONUS. Above-median precipitation is favored for the northern CONUS with the highest probabilities located in the Pacific Northwest. Below-median precipitation is most likely for the majority of the southern CONUS and most of Alaska excluding the Panhandle. --Jon Gottschalck
