May will be remembered for it’s flooding rainfall and severe weather.
Temperature extremes of widespread cold from Southwest to Great Lakes and all-time record May heat in the Southeast was also noteworthy.
One cannot help but think a cooler, wetter summer is on the horizon for a large swathe of the US thanks to the wettest last 12 months in history.

CFSv2 500mb height anomalies for 5-day increments show ridging west then across the north through June. This indicates the potential for continued wetter and therefore cooler conditions for Texas and the central US. Warmest in a banana-shape from Great Basin to Middle Atlantic.
The fly in the ointment is the Southeast which has dried out considerably. Dry Southeast typically signals warmer than normal but wetter conditions over the next 10 days could remove this threat for early and mid summer heat.

June precip anomaly shows wettest across south and central, driest and likely warmest across the Northern Tier.
