• Seasonal US/N.America Rainfall Forecasts and Tropical Rainfall Forecasts
  This is the forecast rainfall for the US, by season. On the plot, green/blue means more rainfall than normal for that season and red/yellow means less rainfall than normal for that season. For example, dark blue means more than 70 millimeters per month (70 mm/month) more rainfall than normal for that season. One inch is 25.4 millimeters. These forecasts are for 3-month averages, i.e., "Jun-Jul-Aug 1997" is the forecast for that 3-month average, and "Jul-Aug-Sep 1997" is the forecast for the that 3-month average. These forecasts are Seasonal Climate Anomalies from an atmospheric general circulation model run by the NCEP/EMC/Climate Modeling Branch. They are not the official NCEP seasonal forecast, which is found above and at the CPC Home Page.

• Seasonal US/N.America Temperature Forecasts
  This is the forecast temperature for the US, by season. On the plot, blue means colder than normal for that season and red/yellow means warmer than normal for that season. For example, dark red means 3 degrees Kelvin warmer than normal for that season. A change of one degree Kelvin equals a change of 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit. These forecasts are for 3-month averages, i.e., "Jun-Jul-Aug 1997" is the forecast for that 3-month average, and "Jul-Aug-Sep 1997" is the forecast for the that 3-month average. These forecasts are Seasonal Climate Anomalies from an atmospheric general circulation model run by the NCEP/EMC/Climate Modeling Branch. They are not the official NCEP seasonal forecast, which is found above and at the CPC Home Page.
