Drier than normal weather is anticipated from the Southwest into the Tennessee River Valley. The Pacific Northwest and Florida are predicted to see above average precipitation. https://twitter.com/NWSCPC/status/1306587517466980354 Model guidance, statistical tools and the further development of La Nina were the main factors considered for the outlook.
