The latest climate outlook, issued by NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center today, shows that wetter and warmer than normal conditions are expected through most of the Southeast through late summer. After that, a switch to drier than normal conditions is expected to occur as the La Nina becomes stronger. If the La Nina strengthens more quickly than expected, we could see a dry fall unless the tropics drop a lot of rain on us. You can see the maps for April and for April-June below.
