“If La Nina conditions develop, we predict it will be weak and potentially short-lived, but it could still shape the character of the upcoming winter,” said Mike Halpert, deputy director of NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. “Typical La Nina patterns during winter include above average precipitation and colder than average temperatures along the Northern Tier of the U.S. and below normal precipitation and drier conditions across the South.”
Warmer-than-normal conditions are most likely across the southern two-thirds of the continental U.S., along the East Coast, across Hawaii and in western and northern Alaska.
Below-average temperatures are favored along the Northern Tier of the country from Minnesota to the Pacific Northwest and in southeastern Alaska.
The rest of the country falls into the equal chance category, which means they have an equal chance for above-, near-, or below-normal temperatures and/or precipitation because there is not a strong enough climate signal in these areas to shift the odds.
If climatological patterns hold, definitely hoping for a strong La Nina during the winter. But there are always exceptions, so, I'll hope the past patterns hold. Usually means warmer temps, and has less, generally alot less snowfall. Been lucky so far, one of the warmest fall seasons on record here. Each warm day now, is one less day of winter, and one day closer to spring.
632 is correct. 747 - there are no longer any exceptions. Sorry, old wisdom is right out the window with controlled weather.
If you don't realize yet that all weather is (and has been) controlled then you are naive. What it also means is you have some FASCINATING reading to do!
"IF" proves weather is unpredictable.
ReplyDelete4:21 PM Oh you poor naive one. If - means the government, who tries controlling the weather, hasn't decided who they are going to trash next.
ReplyDeleteSorry you haven't noticed that all storms, fires, and earthquakes are much much worse then they every were.
Question everything.
Look up on occasion.
