Winter2020_precipoutlook_700.png

This map shows the probability (percent chance) that winter precipitation (December 2020-Februry 2021) at any location will be in the upper, middle, or lower third of the climatological record (1981-2020). Green colors indicate a wetter-than-average month is most likely, while browns indicate a drier-than-average month is most likely. Darker colors mean higher chances; not more extreme conditions.
