The focus area for this webinar series is the North Central region of the U.S. (from the Rockies to the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley). These free monthly webinars provide and interpret timely information on current climate and drought conditions, as well as climatic events like El Niño and La Niña.

February 2023 topics include mountain, plains, and Midwest snowpack or lack thereof; continuing drought challenges and impacts both short and long term; major river system flood/low flow updates and longer term concerns; recent major climate/weather events and their impacts; La Niña fading what does it mean for this region; various conditions (snow cover/depth, soils, river, reservoirs, ice); and temperature/precipitation outlooks for the next month and season.
