United States

United States: Winter water surpluses in Midwest transition to deficits across north and in the Mississippi Valley beginning in Spring

Widespread moderate to extreme deficits are forecast for Montana, Wyoming, Michigan, much of the Mississippi Valley, and New England. Surpluses are forecast for the Southern Plains, east Texas, coastal North and South Carolina, and eastern Florida. Both deficits and surpluses are expected in the Pacific Northwest, the Southeast, Missouri and Arkansas.

United States: Water deficits forecast across the North, Mississippi Valley; surpluses in Texas, South Carolina

The 12-month forecast through August 2016 indicates water deficits across the northern US from eastern Oregon to Maine, with greatest severity in the Great Lakes Region. Widespread and severe deficits are also forecast in the Mississippi Valley from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. Surpluses are forecast in California, the Southern Plains, and in the Southeast. Both deficits and surpluses are expected in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and East Texas.

United States: Water deficits forecast across the North, surpluses in Texas, Virginia, Carolinas

Water deficits are forecast in the North, through the Great Lakes region and Midwest, and south to the Gulf. Both surpluses and deficits are expected in California. Surpluses are forecast in: Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, and the Carolinas, with some areas experiencing both deficits and surpluses.

United States: Water deficits persist in the Northwest, moderate surpluses forecast for California

Water deficits are forecast in the US Northwest and eastward through the Great Lakes region for the 12-month period ending June 2016. California may transition to moderate surpluses. Surpluses are also forecast in the Central and Southern Plains and in Virginia. Moderate to exceptional deficits are expected in southern Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, with both deficits and surpluses emerging in central Louisiana.

United States: Numerous regionally significant water anomalies ahead

Water deficits may dominate the northern US from the Pacific Northwest eastward through Minnesota in the coming months, with surpluses in the Upper Mississippi. The forecast for California indicates a transition from deficits to surpluses by February. Surpluses may persist in the Central and Southern Plains and along Mississippi River tributaries. Extensive deficits are forecast March through May from the central Gulf Coast region northward through the Great Lakes region.

Many analyses reported in ISciences-authored blog posts are based on data generated by the ISciences Water Security Indicator Model (WSIM). Other sources, if used, are referenced in footnotes accompanying individual posts. WSIM is a validated capability that produces monthly reports on current and forecast global freshwater surpluses and deficits with lead times of 1-9 months at 0.25°x0.25° resolution. This capability has been in continuous operation since April 2011 and has proven to provide reliable forecasts of emerging water security concerns in that time-frame. WSIM has the ability to assess the impacts of water anomalies on people, agriculture, and electricity generation. Detailed data, customized visualizations, and reports are available for purchase.
