The Climate Prediction Center has published its medium range and long range temperature and precipitation products for March. If you're hoping for spring-like conditions, well, the first part of the month is not looking too good.
The CPC updates its medium range outlooks often. So check the links below.
For the period covering March 1-9, below normal temperatures can be expected. In fact, probabilities within a range of 50-70% are highlighted. That's an unusually high confidence range.
Precipitation for the same period is expected to come in at below normal. Sounds right to me.
We look to be in a persistent northwest flow pattern which tends to keep the moisture and warmer air from reaching us via the Gulf of Mexico.
However, do not despair. The CPC provided its monthly outlook for March this past Thursday, the 21st.
Once this persistent cold pattern breaks down, the warmer air out west will overtake us. In fact, a persistent warm pattern looks to set in. But, along with the warmer temperatures will bring a better chance for more precipitation.
