NOAA’s temperature outlook for the 3-month “season” of February–April 2024 showing which temperature outcome was forecast as most likely in different parts of the country—orange and red for well above normal, blues for well below normal, and gray for near normal. The darker the color, the higher the chances of that outcome, not the bigger the departure from normal. White areas mean that any of the three outcomes was equally likely.
