(1/3) Here you go, snow fans! The moment you've been waiting for has arrived: my 2024-2025 Winter Outlook! Two primary winter-season influences will be our first-year, weak La Niña & strongly-negative Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO)..
2/3) The #PolarVortex should also be stronger than last winter, frequently keeping Arctic air "locked up" in Canada/Alaska & limiting high-latitude (NAO/AO) blocking from Dec-Feb. However, analogs suggest the coldest/snowiest part of winter could be right around the holidays..
(3/3) Despite a lack of snow & predominance of mild air this winter, odds of a #WhiteChristmas may be the highest in years. From Dec-Feb, aggregate temps should be above normal (+2-4°F) with snowfall well below avg (10-20"). I expect "all-rain" & "changeover" events to be common.
