A developing La Nina in the Pacific Ocean could have impacts on winter weather in the northern plains.
Dennis Todey is director of the USDA’s Midwest Climate Hub in Ames Iowa. He says much of the consensus is pointing to “cold and snowy” for the upcoming winter, much like every year…
A La Nina occurs when Pacific Ocean surface temperatures drop below long term normals, and that has an effect on climate trends in North America.
Todey says the predictions include the possibility of a more active storm track…..
Todey says the forecast into mid-November indicates above, to much above normal temperatures for most of the northern plains.
