Fall Temperature and Rainfall Outlooks

The NOAA/NWS Climate Prediction Center (CPC) just issued their outlook for September and for fall (September, October, and November).  

Here is the latest update of the U.S. Drought Monitor.  I have been calling for a slow easing of drought conditions as rainfall trends closer to normal.  While the core of extreme or exceptional drought remains anchored over central Georgia, the extent of D0-D4 drought has been shrinking over the past 3 months. 

I will discuss these forecasts in light of runoff potential and water resources in my September Water Resources Outlook later this month
