If you plan to plant pine trees, and this weather forecast proves true, there are several factors to considerate.  It may not be a good year to plant high dry sites and a better year to plant wet areas. Assess your timberland and base your planting decision on the best information available. 

Loblolly and slash pines generally are planted in January and February.  Because of this practice, chances of having good survival rates maybe decreased with an unusually dry late winter and early spring.
