Here's a closer look at how the forecast evolves the next three months. In addition, an area of well above average ocean temperatures off the West Coast, known as the "blob," may also have an impact on temperatures across the country late this year.

Rainfall Climate forecasters at the Climate Prediction Center predict a weak El Nino to occur during the meteorological winter months of 2018-2019 (Dec-Jan-Feb). As stated in the video above, displayed on these outlooks are the highest probability outlooks and does not describe the day-to-day variability. Weather Radio Long range outlooks for temperature and precipitaiton from the National Weather Service FAQs Rainfall Education and Outreach The certainty in this forecast is lower than usual due to factors like the remnant El Niño and increasing water temperatures in the North Pacific, which would favor cooler weather, and climate models that continue to signal a warmer than average winter for much of the United States.
