NOAA Forecast: Early Summer Heat Wave Predicted for Select States

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center forecasts warmer-than-average spring weather for most U.S. states, with a higher likelihood in the Pacific Northwest, Upper Midwest, and Great Lakes regions. Additionally, a wetter-than-normal spring is expected for a large portion of the country, while El Niño is anticipated to fade out, leading to a "neutral" situation before La Niña takes over, potentially impacting fall and winter weather patterns.
