The latest seasonal outlook was released last week. It shows that for June, the East Coast is leaning towards warmer than normal conditions, while the western part of our region is likely to be wetter than normal, which could hold temperatures there down because of cloud cover. For the months of June through August, warmer than normal conditions are likely across the entire region but are most likely along the Eastern seaboard, while there is a slight lean towards wetter than normal conditions, but it is not strongly indicated. This is most likely due to our expectation that it will be another busy hurricane season but spots that get missed by the rain from whatever storms cross near the Southeast could see drought. This pattern continues into the fall months of September through October, with a slightly increased possibility of wetter than normal conditions during the heart of the Atlantic tropical season.
