CFSv2 Extended Range Temperature Anomaly Forecast Maps - Week 3 & 4 (2013) #1421647 (License: Personal Use)

This dual-panel map displays the 16-member ensemble mean temperature anomalies from the Climate Forecast System version 2 (CFSv2), covering North America during late April to mid-May 2013. Warm anomalies (orange to red, up to +3.5 K) dominate the western U.S. and parts of Canada, while cooler-than-average conditions (blue to green, down to -3.5 K) appear over the northern Pacific and eastern Canada. Each panel corresponds to a specific weekly forecast window, with contour lines indicating geographic boundaries and a color bar quantifying anomaly magnitude.

Used in meteorological research, climate blogs, and NOAA/NCEP forecast summaries to illustrate subseasonal temperature outlooks; targets users seeking historical model verification or seasonal pattern analysis.
