Winter Outlook from NOAA

Posted at 3:56 PM on November 20, 2008 by Craig Edwards

NOAA's Climate Prediction has just released their updated winter outlook for December through February. There is neither a La Nina or El Nino to factor in on this outlook, but the overall trend this decade is for milder winters than the thirty year average.

NOAA Press Release on the Winter Outlook

The odds of a milder than normal winter in the Twin Cities appear to have slipped from an earlier prediction of slightly more than fifty percent to slightly less than forty percent.

Recall that the starting point for CPC forecasters is a 33 percent chance of above, below and normal.
