What can you expect for temperature trends and tornadic activity for the balance of the spring and early summer season? The latest outlook for April through June from The Weather Company and Atmospheric G2 is here. This is what the long-range forecast is predicting in the three months ahead.

Overall Temperature Outlook

The latest long-range forecasting models detail that temperatures will build quickly in the western U.S. and the Plains states while the Northeast will remain on the cooler side through the spring season.

The Southern Plains and the Desert Southwest are forecast to see temperatures rise over the norm for the bulk of the spring and early summer. The greatest deviation from the historical averages will be across the southern Rockies. It is also expected to be unseasonably warm for the Northern Plains, the Mississippi Valley, and the Southeast.

Conversely, the Northeast and the Pacific Northwest are likely to see temperatures land cooler than usual for the spring and the early part of the summer. It is important to note that these temperature predictions are just averages. There will be times when the trend deviates.

What to Expect in April

Looking at April specifically, temperatures will be the warmest when compared to the norm in the zone from Utah and Arizona and over into the lower Mississippi Valley. Cities that can count on warmer readings include Phoenix, Denver, Dallas, and Houston.
