Rest of Spring, Summer Showing Above-Normal Temperature Trends

April is showing a warmer than average precipitation and temperature trend and as we get closer to the summer, the precipitation trends are dropping off but the warming trend is not.

 

Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln indicates April is going to be on the wet side but as we get to May and then June, things are signaling to be warmer than average and that wet trend gradually declines.

 

 

According to Shimon, a persistent high-pressure system will hang out over the midwest and that will allow a lot more warmth to build and it will only enhance as the summer goes on.

 

 

What's interesting to Shimon about the outlooks so far in 2022 is how consistent they have been. Particularly with the summer outlook, he explains the Climate Prediction Center has been on this trend for some time.

 

 

Shimon is imploring the public to be ready for severe weather in April, May, and June. He indicates the upcoming three months are the most active for severe weather in Illinois.
