This will likely lead to drought persistent and development throughout the West and portions of the Plains. Odds favored above normal precipitation for the eastern third of the nation. La Nina is present in the Pacific Ocean but has been weakening and this trend is expected to continue. The cooler than normal Pacific water temperatures are predicted to be neutral by summer.
