It would be a waste. Forecasters have enough trouble here forcasting 3-5 days out, much less 30 days.

The general assumption is for Now through the end of december to be colder than average. We need that major storm to break the pattern we are in now

Looking out a month is not very reliable. Try the NOAA 6-10 and 8-14 day forecast maps and discussion.



http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/predictions/



The maps are updated every day at 3:00 pm. It's good to read the forecast discussion cause it gives you the reasoning behind the forecast. The text can be a little hard follow depending on the forecaster. They basically look at all the main global models and give a blended forecast or explain why certain ones are discounted/favored. They also give a forecast confidence rating of 1-5.

I was using the Penn State e-Wall 16 day ensembles map.
