Session Summary
World Weather, Inc. will assess the status of drought in the United States and lingering dryness in Canada's Prairies before detailing the 2013 outlook for North America. Weak atmospheric weather pattern signals this late winter and spring will challenge forecasters and the impact on producers in the Prairies will be far reaching. Drew Lerner will spend some quality time assessing the patterns before finishing the weather presentation with an official outlook for the spring and a general look at summer weather from Alberta to Quebec and southward to the Gulf of Mexico Coast. There is evidence of a multi-year dry cycle evolving in a part of North America, but finding the region of ongoing dryness in 2013 will, be well worth the time spent with this meteorologist.
