The National Weather Service issued the official winter outlook for the U.S. and Mike Halpert, Deputy Director of the Climate Prediction Center, says a developing La Nina will be a factor this winter:
OC…..north :17
Halpert says that means a heavier precipitation trend may set up in the northern United States:
OC……..Ohio Valley. :13
He says much of the country may see above normal temperatures, but Siouxland is on the borderline for that:
OC……precipitation :28
Halpert says drought conditions will continue and expand from the Midwest into western parts of the country.
