Much of the country is forecast to see warmer-than-average temperatures and drought conditions this spring, according to NOAA.

Though Ohio is still in winter mode, it's never too early to think about spring. NOAA three-month maps predict a warmer, wetter spring for Ohio.

With meteorological winter almost at its end, NOAA has released its seasonal forecast looking ahead to March, April, and May.

NOAA predicts a drier spring for the Southwest and wetter season for the Northwest and Appalachia. Punxsutawney Phil may have signaled six more weeks of winter, but the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has its own predictions for spring.

Above-normal temperatures are expected throughout Texas, with the highest likelihood of warm weather across the southern half of the state.
