U.S. WINTER OUTLOOK — NOAA scientists announced
that a number of climate conditions will influence the winter
weather across the United States from December through February.
The NOAA 2004-2005 Winter Outlook calls for above-average temperatures
in Alaska, much of the West and the northern and central Great
Plains. Below average temperatures are expected across the Gulf
Coast states, the Southeast and the mid-Atlantic region of the
U.S. There are equal chances of warmer, cooler or near-normal
temperatures this winter in the Northeast, Midwest and parts
of Southwest. |
