The northern tier of states from the eastern Great Lakes to Montana are expected to have a colder-than-average April - June, according to a spring outlook released Thursday by NOAA's Climate Prediction Center.
The month of April alone is expected to feature below-average
temperatures from the Northeast Seaboard to the Ohio Valley, Great Lakes,
northern Plains and northern Rockies.
On the other end of the spectrum, generally
warmer-than-average conditions are expected in April - June from the West Coast
and Desert Southwest, spreading into the rest of the nation's southern tier
from Texas and Oklahoma to Florida and parts of the Carolinas.
In short, the stubborn pattern in place much of the winter
is expected to persist into spring, namely, a northward bulge in the polar jet
stream into Alaska and northwest Canada, and a corresponding southward dip in
the jet stream over the central and eastern U.S., ushering in persistent bouts
of cold air to the Midwest and parts of the East.
