Do you lay awake at nights wondering what the upcoming season will be
like? Want to place bets with friends and family on next month's
weather? If so, good news:
The tools and techniques for making monthly and season scale climate
forecasts are rapidly changing, with the potential to provide useful
forecasts at the month and longer range. Rick Thoman (Climate Science
and Services Manager, Environmental and Scientific Services Division,
National Weather Service Alaska Region) will review recent climate
conditions around Alaska, review forecast tools and finish up with the
Climate Prediction Center's forecast for the upcoming season.
Thoman will also present a "Feature-of-the-Month" special addition in
which each month he will highlight a topic relevant to the particular
month. This month the topic is 'fire'! This will be a monthly series
generally taking place the third Friday of each month.
