Late Summer To Early Fall Outlook: Where Summer Lingers With Above Average Temperatures And Where Fall Is Near
But where is fall on the way? And where is summer set to hang on a little longer?
-Bullseye For The Northern Rockies: You might not be surprised to hear that the majority of the country is expected to be warmer than average, but it's going to be a bit extra toasty from August through October in the Northern Rockies. But you're not alone, because essentially the rest of the Northern Tier and much of the Southwest are right there with you, though temperatures are going to be slightly closer to average.

-Cooler, But Still Warm: The parts of the country that may find it easiest to brag about their three-month outlook is the West Coast and a swath from the South into the mid-Atlantic. Temperatures are leaning above average, but temperatures a little above average are still better than temperatures way above average.
-Ah, There's The Relief: Then there's the Gulf Coast and parts of the Southeast, where it's going to be a little cooler than average for the three-month span from August through October.
But there's a caveat there.

-Cool But Damp: Much of that region that's going to be cooler than average is also going to be wetter than average. The cooler temperatures reflect that rainy forecast as we enter the peak of hurricane season over the next three months.
-Dry Summer And Fall: The majority of the rest of the country is going to be drier than usual for the end of summer and beginning of fall, but there's another damp spot up in the Pacific Northwest.
