NOAA’s U.S. Temperature Hazards Outlook, available on the National Integrated Heat Health Information System web portal, provides a probabilistic estimate of where temperatures are expected to be either much below normal or much above normal, and where those conditions pose a hazard to life or property. The red outline indicates a 20% risk of temperatures much above normal. Short range forecasts and region-specific information are available through local National Weather Service Forecast Offices.
