January 2023 temperature outlook. Reds over central and eastern US indicates where odds favor a warmer than average month. Blues over northern California and intermountain West

Image caption

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)—is most likely for the month of January 2023. Darker colors mean greater chances, not bigger temperature extremes. White does not mean "average." It means a warm, cool, or near average November are all equally likely.
