Andover

Solidifying the general belief that this summer is expected to be warmer than normal for a majority of the country, Andover, MA-based WSI Corp.’s June-August forecast released this week called for just that. However, much like AccuWeather’s summer forecast last week (see Daily GPI, May 18), WSI sees the real heat waiting to make an appearance during the middle of the season, which could put upward pressure on natural gas and power demand — as well as prices.

Coming as a mixed bag for energy bulls and bears, Andover, MA-based WSI Corp. said it expects the March-May period to average warmer than normal temperatures in the northeastern and western U.S., with below-normal temperatures confined to the Plains and the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys.

Continuing the above-normal-temperature theme from the beginning of winter, Andover MA-based WSI Corp. said late last month that it expects the January-March period to average warmer than normal across the northern two-thirds of the country with below-normal temperatures confined to the southern tier of states. If the forecast holds up, lower natural gas and power prices are sure to follow, analysts say.

While the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) continues to call for a warmer-than-normal winter, Andover, MA-based WSI Corp. said last week that it expects December-February to average cooler-than-normal temperatures in the major cities along the East Coast, with warmer-than-normal readings expected across the western two-thirds of the U.S. The WSI seasonal outlooks reference a standard 30-year norm (1971-2000).

Adding another opinion to the muddled winter forecast scene, Andover, MA-based WSI Corp. said last week that it expects the November-through-January period to average cooler-than-normal temperatures in the major cities of the Northeast and parts of the southern Rockies and Southwest, while warmer-than-normal temperatures are expected across the rest of the northern U.S. and in the Southeast.
