Another Warm Winter for Much of the Country

While most of the country didn’t experience much of a winter last year, as it was the warmest winter on record, this winter looks like it’ll be much of the same.

Meteorologists with NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center are expecting another warm winter for much of the country. For the months of December, January, and February, forecasters predict warmer-than-average temperatures for the country’s southern tier and East Coast, and also New England to the eastern Great Lakes. Also, most of the southern half of the country will see less rain and snow than usual.

The only parts of the country expected to see below-normal temperatures are the Pacific Northwest, northern Plains and across southern Alaska. Everyone else should see normal winter weather.
