WEEKLY FORECASTS

SEASONAL HIGHLIGHTS

WINTER 2019–2020

Weak El Niño conditions will

keep the polar jet running straight

through this area, so expect much

colder than normal conditions

with a barrage of polar vortex air

masses. Due to the colder f low, we

should see a drier pattern, with

the lack of an active storm track.

SUMMER 2020

Temperatures will be at normal

levels overall, yet precipitation

will trend to lower-than-average

levels. The amount of sunny days

will outnumber the cloudy ones.

SPRING 2020

A cold and wet start to spring

will slowly transition to more

seasonable temperatures and

precipitation levels. Expect a

couple of late-season cold spells

that could bring a return to snowy

conditions.

FALL 2020

Precipitation levels will range

between normal and slightly below

normal. Temperatures should be

colder than normal early and then

become more seasonal later.
