[["CPC Featured Product","October 28, 2014 ","Global Tropical Hazards Outlook\r\n","

CPC forecasters generate a hazards outlook<\/a> for the global tropics every Tuesday, identifying areas where enhanced or suppressed rainfall is favored, as well as where tropical cyclones are expected to form. In some cases, temperature extremes are highlighted where major impacts are likely due to delayed monsoon onset or excursions of arctic air masses into the subtropics. The outlook covers both Week-1 and Week-2, leveraging expert analysis of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and other types of tropical variability. The outlook is updated every Friday during the Atlantic and East Pacific hurricane seasons to account for the latest information on the formation of potentially impactful tropical cyclones.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The maps are accompanied by an expert discussion that explains the forecast rationale while addressing the key uncertainties in the outlook. Additionally, a brief synopsis of how the forecast pattern of anomalous tropical convection could impact the extratropical circulation is often given during the wintertime, when such teleconnections are more robust. This analysis often gives insight into subseasonal climate trends that could impact North America during weeks three and four.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

After the forecast is released each Tuesday afternoon, a webinar is presented by the forecaster in which the outlook is discussed with an emphasis on impactful climate patterns including midlatitude impacts for Week-2 and beyond. This presentation is archived as a PDF and made available on the product web page.
