The latest natural gas weekly report from the US Energy Information Administration shows working natural gas stocks are 10% lower then year-ago levels and 2% lower than the five-year average through 2020 for this week.
Moderate weather for the continental United States, however, has kept Henry Hub below recent highs of around $6/mn Btu. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in its latest monthly forecast calls for above-normal temperatures across most of the Lower 48 states.
In the more immediate forecast, the National Weather Service said to expect record-breaking high temperatures for this time of year for parts of the country, though the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest could see heavy snow during the weekend.
