Feb2024_tempoutlook.gif

The U.S. temperature outlook for February 2024. At each location, three temperature outcomes are possible: well above average, near average, or well below average. The map uses colors to show which outcome is most likely: orange and red for warmer than average, gray for near average, and blues for cooler than average. The darker the color, the higher the probability of a given outcome, not how extreme it will be.  White areas indicate that there are equal chances for a warm, cool, or near-average February.
