This winter, we’re looking at the potential for a weak La Niña. There’s a 60-75% chance we’ll enter La Niña conditions, but it’s expected to be a milder version. With no strong signal in play, it means almost anything could happen. The Southern and Eastern U.S. are forecasted to be warmer and drier than average, while the Pacific Northwest is likely to see cooler and wetter conditions.
