NOAA has released its seasonal outlook for the winter months, which predicts the U.S. will slowly transition into a La Niña pattern.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released its winter outlook, which predicts a drier winter in Colorado.

According to NOAA’s winter outlook for this coming winter, there is the possibility of some drought relief for us and much of the Great Lakes region. A developing La Niña is expected to have a positive influence on a higher potential for more precipitation this winter.
