I’ll also discuss the current state of drought, how it changed during January, and how CPC expects drought to change during February. ![]() For more details on how to interpret these maps, read our explainer Understanding NOAA's monthly climate outlooks.īelow, I’ll provide more detail about the outlooks and provide the rationale behind them. White areas indicate that there are equal chances for a wet, dry, or near-average February. The darker the color, the higher the probability of a given outcome, not how extreme it will be. The map uses colors to show which outcome is most likely: greens for above average, gray for near average, and browns for below average.
