Good afternoon. While the November and December outlooks favor near normal precipitation and temperatures, a look ahead at the Winter Outlooks favor above normal temperatures and below normal precipitation. El Niño causes the Pacific jet stream to move south and spread further east. During winter, this leads to wetter conditions than usual in the Southern U.S. and warmer and drier conditions in the North. While we will certainly get our fair share of cold air and snow at times, on average this winter is still expected to be warmer and drier than normal.

May be an image of map and text that says 'A P low pressure Polar JetStream wa warm wet dry extended Pacific Jet Stream, amplified storm track'

The NWS Climate Prediction Center outlook for the beginning of December favors a return to more active and wetter conditions.
Temperatures are more uncertain, but lean below normal across southern portions of our area.
