If you’re in search of a snowy winter, there’s a new forecast to help you make plans.Federal forecasters released an outlook Thursday that points to a “classic”
Glen Armstrong examines his dead peanut plants in Dublin, Texas where a drought has made his crop unharvestable. “An enhanced southern jet stream and associated moisture often present during strong El Nino events supports high odds for above-average precipitation for the Gulf Coast, lower Mississippi Valley and Southeast states this winter,” said Jon Gottschalck, chief of the Operational Prediction Branch of the Climate Prediction Center.
“What typically can happen when in those cases is that the US and Alaska are impacted by much more air of Pacific Ocean origin, which is generally warmer,” said Gottschalck. “There will be certainly periods of below-normal temperatures. There’ll be those Arctic outbreaks. What we're saying basically is more that there may be less, less of them and shorter duration, potentially this year,” Gottschalck said.
“Overall, it could be a very much a needed benefit -- relief for the drought conditions that are occurring in those areas,” Gottschalck said.
