Long term weather forecasts

The link below goes to the CDEC QPF for the Feather River. The links on the bottom of the report are also very interesting. The maps are very broad bands of probability of how much above or below normal for both precipitation and temperatures. IF you click on the maps they are enlarged.

Looks like the cool May will be followed by mostly normal chances of precipitation but 60-80% above normal temperatures. Could be an intense snowmelt!

I’ve always puzzled over what these “temperature probability” depictions meant, so I searched and found this explanation:
