The
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Climate
Prediction
Center (CPC) continually issues three month extended forcasts for the
country
showing areas of expected below, average, or above temperatures and
precipitation. Above you will find the outlooks for the
period of
June, July, and August (JJA) 2010. These outlooks can give a
general idea of what may happen but are not as accurate as a 7-day
forecast that you will find on the nightly news. The CPC has a webpage
dedicated to explaining the outlooks so instead of rewriting the
information just go check out their page.
The JJA outlook is showing, in east central Minnesota, that we have a 40% chance of below average temperatures, 33.3% chance of average, and 26.7% chance of above average temperatures. For precipitation, we have equal chances (33.3%) of having above, average, or below average precipitation throughout the summer months. As you can see, there is still a reasonable chance of above, average, or below average temperatures and precipitation but this does provide us a general idea of the weather we may expect over the summer. For other extended outlooks visit the CPC webpage.
