Forecast Confidence for the Extended Outlook:
Confidence is reasonably good for the earlier part of the outlook, with generally good large-scale agreement on a summer pattern across the lower 48. Confidence is somewhat lower later in the outlook because the main guidance sources agree on parts of the pattern but differ on how the pattern may weaken or shift late in the period.
