On Thursday, climate and weather experts will discuss key findings from NOAA's U.S. and global climate analyses for January 2022, the latest El Niño/La Niña update, and the U.S. seasonal outlooks for temperature, precipitation and drought for the next three months. An expert from the Northeast Regional Climate Center will also review last month's "bomb cyclone" nor'easter that battered the Northeast and brought blizzard conditions and record snowfall to some areas.
