Map of the contiguous United States (view Alaska) showing which of three temperature outcomes—much warmer than average (red), average, or much cooler than average (blue)—are most likely for the month of December. Darker colors mean greater chances, not bigger temperature extremes. White does not mean "average." It means a warm, cool, or near average December are all equally likely.
