The Climate Prediction Center (CPC) is a division of the National Weather Service (NWS) under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that specializes in providing climate forecasts and outlooks. The CPC Seasonal Precipitation Outlooks are forecasts that predict the likelihood of above-normal, near-normal, or below-normal precipitation conditions for specific geographic regions during a particular season. These outlooks are based on analysis of historical climate data, current oceanic and atmospheric conditions, and global climate models. They are typically issued on a monthly basis and are valid for a 3-month period.
