August 2022 precipitation outlook. Browns over Great Plains and Northeast indicate where drier than average conditions are favored. Blue greens over Southwest and Virginia/Carolinas indicate where a wetter than average month is favored.

Image caption

Map of the contiguous United States (view Alaska) showing which of three precipitation outcomes—much wetter than average (green), average, or much drier than average (brown)—is most likely for the month of August 2022. Darker colors mean greater chances, not how far above or below average precipitation is likely to be. White does not mean "average." It means a wet, dry, or near-average July are all equally likely.
