A cold winter is likely in store for those in the northern U.S., with milder temperatures across the southern tier, according to NOAA’s National Weather Service winter outlook issued Thursday.
The outlook indicates the arrival of a La Niña climate pattern will have a heavy hand in the winter weather patterns from December through February.
After water temperatures in the central Pacific Ocean dropped to 0.5 degrees Celsius below average (-0.9 degrees Fahrenheit) NOAA's National Climate Prediction Center issued a La Niña Advisory in October.
Who will have bone-chilling cold and snow? The Northern Tier and Upper Midwest are looking at higher confidence of below-average winter temperatures – that means even colder than their typically frigid winters. Forecasts indicate wetter than average conditions for the Ohio Valley and southern Great Lakes region and most of Alaska.

The NOAA analysis projects a largely normal winter in the US. Might be slightly dry in the South.
“Baby, it’s gonna be cold outside.”
No global warming?
It’s global warming. Run run run.
I dug out my CCR kazoo to play on while I was readying this La Niña horse pucky.
A little off topic but The Weather Channel has been in a funk this whole hurricane season.
So desperate to disguss anything hurricane, they have to talk about storms from many years past. SMH
It’s always global warming... Raining outside??? Global warming... Sunny outside??? Global warming... Snowing outside??? You guessed it... Global warming.
This crazy cult of lunacy will accept nothing less than Global Warming.
I saw a woolly caterpillar yesterday. Woolly says it’s going to be a moderate to normal winter, starting out worse but gets better towards the end. Woolly is no worse at predicting weather than NOAA or that silly rodent that comes out every February.
Send a polar vortex to Texas. It is still summer down here.
Butt, butt, butt.....end of snow....😵
I know right, I’m tired of this s___.
It’ll wait until mid-February like in 2021.
Spent my birthday (the 15th) shoveling up all the snow I could find off the yard to melt in the bathtub because we had no water for five days.
Those were the best days of our lives.
“A cold winter is likely in store for those in the northern U.S.” A cold winter is not evidence for global warming. A mild winter would be evidence of global warming.
That’s bad. We’ve been extra dry since late September.
Dixie needs rain, and lots of it.
Let it snow let it sonw.........
I will be glad when the 5.27 years are over. I am tired of freezing due to the global warming.
Cold weather in the north, warmer weather in the south? What’s the world coming to?!
What happened to our supposed hellatious hurricane season this year.
Best to just go with the flow. Here in NC we get 4 seasons. How about you all here?
