Features

	SECC 2008 Spring Outlook La Niña impacts lessen, dryness still a concern for Alabama, Florida and Georgia.

	Southeast Wildfire Potential Forecast for 2008 With the Pacific Ocean currently in a strong La Niña, all of Florida, South Georgia, and South Alabama are expected to see a decrease in rainfall (up to 30-50% less than normal) and warmer temperatures for the remainder of the winter and early spring seasons. The lack of winter rainfall has already impacted parts of the Southeast, resulting in drought and wildfires across the regions.

	CoCoRaHS Has Come To Florida The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network, better known as CoCoRaHS, has expanded into Florida and is looking for citizen volunteer weather observers here in the Sunshine State.

	New animations of ENSO Impacts on the United States. To view the animations, you will need Quick-Time. Download here (Animations will take a few moments to load due to their size.)

	Wind Climatology Based on a recent MS Thesis by Ms. Joanne Culin, an interactive GIS website has been created to display monthlty wind roses and wind speed distributions for over 200 stations across the Continental U.S. Information is displayed by ENSO Phases as well as a period of record climatology.
