Long Range Winter Forecast: Warmer And Drier

October 23, 2021

If you’re hoping for a real cold winter, you may just be out of luck, according to a long range winter outlook.

Above average temperatures are favored across the South, according to NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center — a division of the National Weather Service.

Drier than average conditions are also in the long range outlook for the entire Southeast as La Nina climate conditions have emerged for the second winter in a row. However, drought conditions are not in the forecast.

“Using the most up-to-date observing technologies and computer models, our dedicated forecasters at the Climate Prediction Center produce timely and accurate seasonal outlooks to help communities prepare for the months ahead,” said Michael Farrar, Ph.D., director of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction.

    @NPC… Sure thing, gramps. Maybe you should just just go outside and predict the temps for tomorrow within one degree of accuracy like they do with those computers.

    “Using the most up to date observing technologies…..”. I feel they were more accurate 40 years ago when they went outside instead of relying on a computer.

    I look forward to this prediction being as accurate and dependable as the NOAA hurricane forecast.
