U.S. Winter Outlook: Drier, warmer South, wetter North with return of La Nina [NOAA: others in first comment]
NOAA ^ | October 21, 2021 | US Gov.

Warmer-than-average conditions are most likely across the Southern tier of the U.S. and much of the Eastern U.S. with the greatest likelihood of above-average temperatures in the Southeast.

Below-average temperatures are favored for southeast Alaska and the Pacific Northwest eastward to the northern Plains.

The Upper Mississippi Valley and small areas of the Great Lakes have equal chances for below-, near- or above-average temperatures.

..wetter-than-average conditions are most likely in parts of the North, primarily in the Pacific Northwest, northern Rockies, Great Lakes, Ohio Valley and western Alaska. Drier-than-average conditions are favored in south-central Alaska, southern California, the Southwest, and the Southeast. (NOAA Climate.gov based on NWS CPC data)

Widespread severe to exceptional drought continues to dominate the western half of the continental U.S., Northern Plains, and the Missouri River Basin.

Drought conditions are forecast to persist and develop in the Southwest and Southern Plains.

The Pacific Northwest, northern California, the upper Midwest, and Hawaii are most likely to experience drought improvement.

“A lot of data here.”

No data; these are forecasts. Data is as a result of measurement.

Thank you. I have reviewed your pedantry and found it measurable and significant. I’m making a note of this as a data point.

It’s a shame Phoenix rarely has average or below average temps. I miss the cooler temps this time of year.

A lot of data here. I’m not good at interpreting this sort of data.

But, clearly, we’re all going to die.

Apparently you better at interpreting this sort of data then you believe you are.
