Southern Company Summer 2018 Outlook & Winter 2017-18 Review Presented by Climate Impact Company April 6, 2018

Climate Impact Company/Southern Company Summer 2018 Outlook & Winter 2017-18 Review La Nina fades, neutral ENSO follows. Warming North Atlantic basin key contributor to forecast Near normal summer temperature (however, expect volatility). Georgia drought erodes. Tropics: Normally busy, nothing like last year. Winter 2017-18 Review La Nina was weak, enable other climate factors to dominate. Stratospheric warming in the arctic region triggered January harsh cold. Pacific Madden Julian oscillation event pushed a record warm February. Overall forecast (mild/dry) verified but it was choppy getting there.

Climate Impact Co. Summer 2018 Outlook Southeast is normally warm, heat West Georgia could be dry, Northeast wet

Southern Company System Summer Forecast Temperature: SLIGHTLY above normal, changeable Precipitation: July driest, August wettest

Tropical Cyclone Season 2018 Near normal activity, most hurricanes stay at sea NEUTRAL ENSO favors near normal activity

Lead Predictors for Summer 2018 Forecast Dynamic/statistical models agree on neutral ENSO If Georgia drought persists (fades) hotter (cooler). Low confidence part of forecast.

The Ocean Forecast… Now: La Nina hanging in there Summer: Warming northern oceans, La Nina gone (Atlantic tropics near normal)
