The weekly national (contiguous USA) stream temperature forecast continues:

It's expected to be a chilly week for streams, with below-average temperatures almost everywhere outside of the high western mountains. Temperatures will likely drop further in the eastern US, but it's expected to warm up a bit in the west. The western mountains are staying on the warm side as they have for a while, but they are expected to heat up less than the lower-elevation parts of the west. Temperatures range from near-freezing in a few tenaciously cold mountain streams up to the low 30s (high 80s) in the Southeast, similar to last week's forecast. (This forecast is for a total of 913 small [HUC-12] watersheds randomly selected from around the country.)

The weekly national (contiguous USA) stream temperature forecast continues:

This week will generally be on the average-to-cold side. Cooling is expected in the Northeast, Southern California, and northwestern Great Plains, while the rest of the country will hold steady or warm slightly. Temperature anomalies will exceed 5 C/9 F in both directions, with high temperatures in the Midwest and the Rocky Mountains but cold-to-average conditions elsewhere. Predicted temperatures are still in the single digits C (30s-40s F) in the high mountains and the colder-than-average regions above, but are mostly in the teens and 20s (50s-70s) east of the Rockies, with the southernmost streams hitting the 30s (80s-90s). (This forecast is for a total of 913 small [HUC-12] watersheds randomly selected from around the country.)

Experimental contiguous USA stream water temperature forecast with TempEst-NEXT:

This week, stream temperatures are expected to hold relatively steady compared to the volatility of the last few weeks. Streams in most of the country are expected to warm moderately over the week, with some areas of cooling in the Northwest. The West Coast is and will remain cooler than average, while the northern half of the eastern US is a bit on the warm side. Predicted temperatures are still in the single digits Celsius (30s-40s Fahrenheit) in the mountains and far north, but are mostly in the teens (50s-60s) elsewhere, ranging up to the high 20s (low 80s) in the Southeast and Arizona. (This forecast is for a total of 913 small [HUC-12] watersheds randomly selected from around the country.)

Experimental national (contiguous USA) stream water temperature forecast:

This week, stream temperatures are expected to increase rapidly in the upper Midwest and cool in the Northeast and West Coast, with modest trends elsewhere. Most of the west is a bit warmer than average and there's a hot zone in the northeast, with the rest of the country largely on the cool side. The trend over the week is largely a return to average, especially in the upper Midwest and northeast. (This forecast is for a total of 913 small [HUC-12] watersheds randomly selected from around the country.)

Warning: this is an experimental stream water temperature forecast for the upcoming week. Results are not guaranteed in any capacity. Typical errors are approximately 2.5 C (4 F).

I'm experimenting with running weekly stream temperature forecasts for a sample of streams over the US as a demo of our model, and I thought I'd look for early feedback here. Thoughts?

---

This week, stream temperatures are expected to remain elevated across the middle of the country, with many sites hitting around 5 C above average. However, temperatures are low on the coasts, ranging from about average to >5 C below average. Overall temperatures range from a few degrees above freezing in the north to about 25 C in the southeast. Streams are generally expected to cool off over the week, except in the Pacific Northwest.
