The new JMA Weeklies are in and the highlights include:
- Unseasonably cool conditions Week 1
- Anomalously wet across the Southeast
- Warmer, more seasonal early-summer weather arrives
Week 1:
The pattern is dominated by an eastern trough and western ridge. Accordingly, cooler than average conditions will dominate the central and eastern portions of the country. Very wet conditions should dominate the southern and eastern tier of the country (heaviest rains should fall east and south of Indiana).
Week 2:
The pattern begins to “relax” a bit, locally, with warmer conditions set to develop. We note three areas of anomalously wet weather- west coast, northern Plains and Southeast.
Weeks 3-4
While the pattern doesn’t seem to promote any sort of significant heat or cool (relative to normal), this is certainly a warmer look, overall, to close the month than how we’re starting. This look would suggest warm, seasonal, summer conditions locally with average precipitation. Wet weather continues to dominate the pattern across the south and begins to emerge into the central.
