The Climate Impact Company month 1-4 ahead climate outlook is updated. There are some changes from the earlier issued summer 2026 outlook and forecast confidence has increased as predictors are increasingly clear. High impact climate is likely and will affect public safety and market interests. Most prominent is the hot climate forecast for summertime across the West and Northwest U.S. with record heat possible the first half of summer in the Northwest and possibly late summer in California.

Morning temperatures are generally near 32F in the Freeze Warning area across the Midwest and Ohio Valley. The eastern Ohio Valley faces a similar chill tomorrow morning with upper 20’s likely. A warm-up follows but medium range forecasts reveal another chilly outbreak to close April.
