This winter: Up in the air
Last winter saw a dramatic
contrast between the balmy U.S. West and the frigid East.
This year's winter outlooks from NOAA
and IRI (precipitation
and temperature)
have more uncertainty than usual, thanks to "La Nada"--the
predicted absence
of a strong El Niño or La Niña. Both IRI and
NOAA are calling for a good chance of warmer-than-usual conditions
across the southern and western U.S. and a slight tendency
toward a wet winter across the Southern Plains.
