The NOAA Climate Prediction Center has released its seasonal outlook for winter 2025 across the United States, indicating a varied pattern. The southern half of the country is expected to experience a warmer and drier winter, while the northwest could face cooler and wetter conditions. Some regions in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic may see temperatures above normal, but these areas are considered uncertain, depending on regional atmospheric patterns. The forecast suggests a La Niña-like winter pattern, which typically brings colder conditions to the north and warmer conditions to the south. Specific regional forecasts include increased chances of snow and cold in the Great Lakes and Northwest, whereas Texas and other southern states have a lower likelihood of extreme winter weather, though some areas like Fort Worth face potential hail risks. Overall, the outlook points to a winter with significant regional variability, with some areas experiencing more snow and cold, and others remaining relatively mild.
