The start of winter has been anything but predictable. After warmer-than-average conditions across much of the U.S. in November, the pattern shifted to impactful snow in the East and repeated storm activity in the West.

This kind of stop-and-start winter is typical of a Neutral to weak La Niña, which is known for driving variability rather than consistent cold.

In this session, we’ll cover:

  • How the Neutral to weak La Niña is shaping winter weather through January and February
  • Regional outlooks for temperature, precipitation, and storm risk
  • Where sudden cold snaps and system stress are most likely
  • What these patterns mean for energy demand, renewable generation, operations, and market strategy

With ongoing uncertainty across regions, accurate short-term forecasting is critical for managing risk this winter. Make sure you have the insights and tools needed to stay ahead of rapid weather-driven shifts.
