- National Map Outlook provides a quick regional at-a-glance information
- User can see spatial variability of expected chance of average 3-month temperature to occur in
the highest-chance forecast category for the entire country
- User can identify spatial extent of areas where they should not rely only on the outlook guidance
|
- User cannot extract site-specific information
- The Outlook Map shows only the greatest chance outlook category – not all three
- The Outlook Map provides only chance for a temperature range to occur without specification of the
temperature range. For example, the map can show a 50% chance for Above Normal Category to occur,
but does not provide a reference to temperature range that corresponds to this category
