The long range climatological forecasts are out.
About 3/4 of the U.S. is going to be locked into a protracted heat wave by the beginning of July, and precipitation will be below normal to much below normal in the southern Great Plains and the Southwest.
A comparable scenario took place in the mid 1990s, the mid/late 1980s and the early/mid 1950s which resulted in some of the highest summer temperatures and driest conditions ever recorded in the Midwest, the Great Plains, and Texas.
