Seasonal outlooks are produced by NOAA every year. The report is produced to help communities prepare for weather and environmental conditions that are likely during the coming months. This allows them to minimize impacts on lives and livelihoods.
Recently, NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center issued a press release about the 2025 spring weather outlook. The annual report gives information on temperature, precipitation, drought and flooding for the coming months.
The forecasters are predicting above average temperatures for the East and Gulf Coast regions, while drought conditions continue in the Southwest. Widespread major flooding is not expected across the Continental United States. Much of the western U.S. is favored to receive below average precipitation.
“The Spring Outlook provides critical information for our partners — including those in agriculture, shipping and recreation — allowing them to prepare for what’s ahead this spring and maximize their economic potential,” said Ken Graham, director of NOAA’s National Weather Service.
