La Nina conditions have returned and are expected to gradually strengthen and continue into the Northern Hemisphere winter 2011-2012. Recalling that last winter as an La Nina winter also with well above normal amounts of precipitation in northern Utah, southern Idaho and western Colorado.Over the last several months many models have predicted increasingly negative sea surface temperatures anomalies in the central Pacific Ocean during the upcoming fall and winter.
Across the contiguous United States, temperature and precipitation impacts associated with La Nina are expected to remain weak during the remainder of the Northern Hemisphere in the fall, and to generally strengthen during the late fall into winter.
The good news is that in appears that the northern storm track will be active for the upcoming winter - and if this is so above normal amounts of precipitation are expected in northern Utah, southern Idaho and western Colorado.
Updates on the development of this La Nina will be blogged each month.
Information was obtained from the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center in Washington D.C.
