NOAA’s Update Climate Outlook Predicts A Warmer Spring For The East

The National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center released an updated seasonal climate outlook for February, March, and April, seemingly predicting a warmer than normal spring for the East Coast, including up into New England.

Based on the outlook, deep southern states have a 50-60% chance of seeing above normal temperatures through late winter and early spring, while further north and along much of the East Coast has a 40-50% chance of seeing above normal temperatures throughout that period.

Only the far northwestern states have a chance of seeing colder than normal temperatures, with Washington state, northern Idaho, northern Montana, and a portion of northern North Dakota having a 40-50% chance of seeing below normal temperatures through February, March, and April.

On the precipitation side of things, the south and up into parts of the Rocky Mountains are likely to see below normal precipitation, with New Mexico sitting at 50-60% chance of below normal. Colorado is split down the middle, with southern Colorado at a 40-50% chance of below normal precipitation and northern Colorado at a 30-40% chance of below normal precipitation.

The Pacific Northwest and parts of the Midwest have some of the best chances to see above normal precipitation, with Washington state sitting at a 40-50% chance of above normal.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently released its Climate Outlook for the upcoming spring season, and the forecast is showing that the East Coast is likely to experience above-average temperatures.

This prediction comes as no surprise, as the East Coast has been experiencing milder winters and warmer springs in recent years due to climate change. NOAA’s update is based on a variety of factors, including sea surface temperatures, atmospheric patterns, and historical climate data.

While warmer temperatures may sound appealing to some, it’s important to remember that this could have significant impacts on the environment, agriculture, and public health. Warmer springs can lead to earlier blooms of plants, which could disrupt ecosystems and impact pollinators. Additionally, higher temperatures can exacerbate air pollution and increase the risk of heat-related illnesses.

As we prepare for the changing climate, it’s crucial to stay informed and take proactive measures to mitigate the effects of these warmer temperatures. Stay tuned for more updates from NOAA as we head into the spring season!
