The updated outlooks were produced considering the Week 1 forecast from the Weather Prediction Center (WPC), and CPC’s own Week 2 and Week 3-4 outlooks. More details about interpreting the outlooks can be found here. Also, remember that the colors on the temperature and precipitation outlook maps only provide information about the most likely outcome, but other outcomes are still possible, although less likely to occur. I’ll also examine the current state of drought, how it changed during the prior month and winter, and how CPC expects drought to change during March.

Much higher or much lower than average means "in the upper or lower third" of March precipitation amounts from 1991-2020. White areas mean that there are equal chances for a wet, dry, or near-average March. Darker colors mean higher chances, not more extreme precipitation departures. The precipitation outlook for March 2024, showing where the average precipitation (rain and snow) is favored to be much higher than average (greens), near average (gray), or much lower than average (browns). The precipitation outlook favors well above average precipitation (rain and/or snow) across large parts of the western, central, and eastern parts of the country, with well below average precipitation only favored in small parts of the Upper Midwest and Southern Plains. The temperature outlook favors well above normal temperatures across much of the central and eastern parts of the nation, with well below average temperatures favored in California and parts of the Southwest. On February 29, CPC released its updated monthly climate outlooks for temperature, precipitation, and drought across the United States for March 2024.

Much warmer or much cooler than average means "in the upper or lower third" of March temperatures from 1991-2020. White areas mean that there are equal chances for a warm, cool, or near-average March. Darker colors mean higher chances, not more extreme temperatures.
