NOAA Calls For Warmer, Drier Winter
November 22, 2013
Winter is likely to see a drought develop across parts of the Southeast, along with above normal temperatures, according to NOAA’s Annual Winter Outlook released Thursday.
In the Southeast, including the North Escambia area, the Precipitation Outlook favors below average precipitation, while the Temperature Outlook favors above average temperatures.
Sea surface temperatures across the equatorial Pacific have been near average since spring 2012, and forecasters expect that to continue through the winter. This means that neither El Niño nor La Niña is expected to influence the climate during the upcoming winter.
The Climate Prediction Center produces the U.S. Winter Outlook to give American communities the best possible scientific prediction of how the winter may shape up across the nation. This outlook supports local and state governments in their effort to plan for public needs during the winter, and large and small businesses as they plan for winter impacts on things like transportation, market demand for goods and services, and finances.

Farmer’s Almanac is calling for a “Frigid Winter With Bitter Cold and Heavy Snow”
NOAA says warmer and dryer…
It will be interesting to see who is right????
isn’t this the same ones that said we were going to have the worst hurricane season this year.LOL
Is this the same people who forecast the hurricane season? I believe the Ol Farmers Almanac is more accurate.
It’s all relative. If you play baseball and you’re successful 35% of the time at the plate, then you’re going to the Hall of Fame.
lol @ Mike!! I think for my next career I want to be a weather guy too. I mean, where else can you get paid that good for never having to be right 100% of the time huh? 30% here, 50% there but never bother to look outside and see that it’s raining…….I mean, that’s 100% right? lol
So we will have floods and below freezing temps for the whole winter!!!!! These guys are always so dependable.
