NOAA: No relief from drought seen this fall
The latest seasonal outlook calls for continued hot, dry conditions for August in Illinois and the entire Corn Belt. We have audio from IL state climatologist Jim Angel.
Compiled by staff
Published: Jul 19, 2012
Above-normal temperatures will cover much of the U.S. in August, government forecasters said Thursday.
The greatest divergence from normal temperatures is expected in central states below the Great Lakes region, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecast. That would include Illinois.
In the August-October outlook, NOAA sees above-normal temperatures across much of the U.S., from the Four Corners states of the Southwest to the East Coast, with extreme temperature deviations in the central states.
NOAA said there is a 65% chance that the weather phenomenon known as El Nino will develop by year end.
"It appears more likely for El Nino to develop during the late summer" in the Northern Hemisphere, NOAA said. "Weak or moderate El Nino conditions should be in place late in the year."
