The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has shared its winter weather outlook for the upcoming season, predicting significant influences from a weak La Niña phenomenon. While the Southern states may experience warmer and drier conditions, the Northern regions are bracing for a wetter and colder winter ahead. Areas like the Pacific Northwest and Great Lakes can expect increased precipitation, while regions such as Alabama and the South may have milder temperatures. The forecast indicates variability, suggesting that cities like Chicago and Memphis could see more snow and frigid temperatures, while the Northeast may repeat the previous year’s snow drought. As winter approaches, meteorologists urge residents to prepare accordingly.
