Highlight: June forecast edges hotter. June through September Discussion The June CDD forecast increases slightly (4-12 CDD). Added is a second peak heat of day mid-month while keeping a second peak later this month. The peak hot day is the same or raised by 1F. There is a risk of an additional increase. The July through September forecast is unchanged for now. The May CDD verification was well above normal and suggests that the warm bias could lead to a warmer adjustment to the monthly forecasts for the summer months going forward.
