U.S. Climate Outlook Highlights Regional Temperature and Precipitation Patterns for 2026 The NOAA/CPC seasonal climate forecast for 2026 outlines significant variations in temperature and precipitation across the United States, with distinct regional trends emerging throughout the year. April 2026 is expected to feature an unusual pattern of warmth extending from the Interior West to the Southeast, maintaining a "memory of winter" effect with temperatures often exceeding normal levels. This warmth is accompanied by exceptionally dry conditions in the West, while wet weather is projected to spread from Texas through the Midwest. The 90-day outlook for the second quarter of 2026 indicates a continued risk of anomalous warmth across most of the country, except for the Upper Midwest and New England. During this period, the wet pattern shifts toward the Atlantic States, while dryness in the West expands into Kansas. By mid-to-late summer, the West faces heightened hot weather risk, though a stronger-than-normal monsoon system in the Southwest is anticipated to add humidity to the region. This monsoon is expected to bring significant moisture to the Southwest, potentially mitigating some of the dryness but contributing to a hotter and more humid environment. Meanwhile, the central Great Plains are projected to experience dryness extending into Texas, while the East and Northeast U.S. will see the development of very warm and humid conditions during mid-to-late summer. The NOAA/CPC Seasonal Drought Outlook through June 30, 2026, highlights a widening drought risk in the West and central Great Plains, while much of the eastern half of the country transitions out of dry-to-drought conditions.#united_states #east #west #southwest #noaa_cpc
