Places where the forecast odds favor a much (top) colder than usual May, June and July (MJJ) (blue colors) or much warmer than usual MJJ (red), or where the probability of a cold MJJ, a warm MJJ or a near-normal May are all equal (white). (Bottom) Places where the forecast odds favor a much drier than usual MJJ (brown colors) or much wetter than usual MJJ (blue-green), or where the probability of a dry MJJ, a wet MJJ or a near-normal MJJ are all equal (white).  The darker the color, the stronger the chance of that outcome (not the bigger the departure from average).
