NOAA has yet to issue its official winter forecast–that will come along in October–but the return of La Nina to talk with confidence about some possibilities for the upcoming 2011-2012 season.
It’s not good news for the drought-stricken southern Plains, where widespread exceptional drought conditions prevail, since a La Nina typically means a fewer-than-average number of storms in this part of the United States. Other possible effects of a La Nina include wetter-than-average conditions in the Pacific Northwest and warmer-than-average temperatures in the Southeast.
For more information on NOAA’s initial forecast, read my Huffington Post blog La Nina Is Back: Another Wild Winter on the Way?
I’ll write a post on the official forecast after it’s been released.
Cloudy and Cool 
so how is the weather going to be like in WA 2011-12 winter?
