The map shows a high probability of above-normal temperatures across the vast majority of the contiguous United States. A large area of deep red, indicating a high likelihood (80-100% chance) of above-normal temperatures, is centered over the Southern Plains, covering Texas, Oklahoma, and surrounding states. This heat extends outward in shades of lighter red and orange to the Southeast, Midwest, and Southwest.

An inset map of Alaska shows the entire state covered in blue (below normal), while Hawaii is shaded in orange (above normal).
