May Outlook: Who Gets Early Summer vs. Hanging Onto Spring?
May is expected to be warmer than average across much of the country, but there are some spots that will feel like it should for late spring.
We’ll likely be putting thoughts of snow and cold in the rear-view mirror a little earlier this year across a large expanse of the U.S.
The latest outlook from The Weather Company and AG2 shows that much of the country will be warm and dry, but not everywhere. Here’s a deeper look:
Temperature Outlook
- Warmer Northern Rockies, Plains: Many Rockies snow resorts pick up their last snows of the season in May, but this year it’s looking like a warm and early end to the ski season.
- Warmer East, Too: Much of the Southeast and Ohio Valley will see slightly above-average temperatures.
- Early Summer Chill? You might need the microscope for this one, but parts of Southern California may see temperatures slightly below average.
- Southwest Forecast Now Cooler: If there’s one change in this outlook that stands apart, it is the Four Corners region. That region is expected to be much closer to average compared to the outlook released
- earlier in April.
