The mean mid-level circulation forecast for Week-2 shows troughs across western Alaska into the north Pacific and over central North America, while ridges are forecast along the west coast of central North America and over the western Atlantic. The forecast pattern favors above-normal temperatures for parts of the Southwest and much of Alaska and the eastern CONUS with below-normal temperatures most likely for the northern Rockies and the Aleutians. Below-median precipitation is favored for much of the West coast, the Southwest and parts of the southern Plains while above-median precipitation is most likely for parts of the northern Rockies, Northeast, Southeast and southwest Alaska. –Jon Gottschalck
