The focus area for this webinar series is the North Central region of the U.S. (from the Rockies to the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley). These free monthly webinars provide and interpret timely information on current climate and drought conditions, as well as climatic events like El Niño and La Niña.  May 2022 topics include drought changes and longer term impacts, continued risk for drought, recent spring improvements to drought, and wildfire updates (May-Summer); recent and potential climate/weather impacts including, but not limited to, continuing La Niña and what it could mean for the region, soil moisture update and recharge outlook (both too wet and too dry), Great Lakes & riverine conditions, and mountain snowpack; the latest trends and outlooks for precipitation and temperature through spring and summer (2 weeks to 6 months), and potential late freeze implications across the region (if any).
There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation. This webinar will also be recorded and available here.
