The National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center wrote on X this past week that the probability of a La Nina weather pattern now stands at 71% and "is expected to persist through January-March 2025," adding, a "La Nina watch remains in effect."
La Nina odds are currently higher, yet CPC expects the weather phenomenon to be "weak."
"A weaker La Niña implies that it would be less likely to result in conventional winter impacts, though predictable signals could still influence the forecast guidance," the weather agency wrote in an update.
La Nina patterns occur when sea-surface temperatures along the equator in the Pacific Ocean cool. The cooler waters push the jet stream northward, allowing more precipitation across the western US. Due to the movement of the jet stream, areas of the southern US record less precipitation than normal during La Nina patterns.
Ben Noll, a meteorologist with New Zealand's National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research, provided more color about the La Nina weather pattern on X:
Here are the typical La Nina impacts across the Lower 48:
Meteorologist Noll provided a new update on forecasted snowfall anomalies across the Lower 48.
And this.
In mid-August, the 208th edition of the Farmers' Almanac published the "Wet Winter Whirlwind." It noted, "There will be a lot of precipitation and storms"—all dependent on location."
Meanwhile, in Europe this weekend.
Ahead of winter in the Lower 48 (2023 data via Angi).
Power bills are only getting more expensive for cash-strapped households battered by Biden-Harris' inflation storm. Consider heating your home with wood or coal to offset electric costs if you can.
