Spring temperatures were above normal for the Gulf Coast Region, with temperatures more moderate towards the coast than inland portions of the Gulf states. Precipitation was well above normal in South Texas, along the Gulf Coast of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and in the southern half of the Florida Peninsula with most stations observing 100% of normal to 200% of normal precipitation.

NOAA’s Regional Climate Services Program creates these climate outlooks to inform the public about recent climate impacts within their respective regions. Each regional report contains easy-to-understand language, and anyone can access them through the U.S. Drought Portal.
