This map depicts the most likely category (above-, near- or below-normal) for April-May-June 2025 seasonal mean temperatures. Orange/red (blue) colors correspond to favored above-normal (below-normal) temperatures respectively with the darker shades indicating higher likelihoods of that category. White areas labeled EC (Equal Chances) indicate that the odds are equal for each of the three categories.
(1/4) JUST IN: NOAA #SpringOutlook 2025: Forecasters predict above-average temperatures along the East Coast & the South, especially:
FL,TX & the LA coastline, to eastern AZ & southern UT.
