18 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Most of the United States will
experience warmer than normal weather this summer and the
Pacific Northwest will be drier than normal, said the National
Weather Service said on Thursday.

In a 90-day forecast, the agency predicted warmer than normal
temperatures for all of the nation except the U.S. Plains and
the western Corn Belt. The NWS said there were equal chances
of warmer, cooler or normal weather in that region.

Above-normal rainfall during July, August and September was
forecast for the Northeast southward through states bordering
the Atlantic and through southern Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana. There were equal chances of above, below or normal
rainfall in the rest of the country except the Northwest.

2. Here in Austin, it's been weird. So much dang rain. It's like freakin Seattle.

Usually we are rainless and entering into the beginning of a blistering summer.
