A much warmer than average spring is slightly favored (light orange) for much of the East in spring 2023. The odds are even higher (red) along the Gulf Coast, the Eastern Seaboard, and northwest Hawaii. A much cooler than average spring is slightly favored (light blue) in the northernmost Great Plains and a small pocket of the Intermountain West. White areas show where forecasters have concluded that the chances of a warm spring, a cool spring, or an average spring are all equal.
