IRON MOUNTAIN — Although it will stay cool early this week, a long-range outlook from the National Weather Service calls for a potentially warm and stormy summer season.
A southward dip in the jet stream has led to chilly weather the past few days, but the forecast calls for a high in the mid-60s by Wednesday.
Looking much further ahead, the Climate Prediction Center puts the chances for above-normal temperatures through July at 47% at Iron Mountain-Kingsford, with chances for below-normal at just 21%.
The temperature outlook is tied to La Nina, the periodic cooling of water in the central Pacific Ocean. La Nina is now gradually weakening, which has typically led to warm summers in the U.S.
