14-Day Temperature Anomaly Forecast: June 14-June 27
Below normal temperatures are expected for parts of the southern Rockies, the Great Plains, the Upper Mississippi Valley, and the Great Lakes region as a result of a trough of low pressure forecast over the region. Increased above normal temperature probabilities are forecast for California coast due to forecast anomalous warmth early in this period. Chances of above normal temperatures are also enhanced over the Southern Plains and the eastern part of the country CONUS, influenced by low-level southerly flow.
14-Day Accumulated Precipitation (in) Forecast: June 14-June 27
The trough of low pressure over the West is expected to increase the probability of above normal precipitation over much of the eastern and central U.S. Above normal precipitation chances are increased over the Northern and Central Rockies and Northern and Central Plains due to an increased potential for convective activity.
Increased below normal precipitation probabilities are forecast over the Southern Plains and Florida.
