(Undated) – NOAA has released its 2021-2022 “Winter Outlook.” According to the current data above-average temperatures are favored across the South and most of the eastern U.S. as La Nina climate conditions have emerged for the second winter in a row. In NOAA’s 2021 Winter Outlook, which extends from December 2021 through February 2022, wetter-than-average conditions are anticipated across portions of the Northern U.S., primarily in the Pacific Northwest, northern Rockies, Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and western Alaska. NOAA experts also continue to monitor the widespread, ongoing drought that has persisted across much of the western half of the U.S. since late last year, keeping a close eye on the Southwest region. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center updates the three-month outlook each month. The next update will be available on November 18. To learn more check out the video below.
