NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center will host a media teleconference to announce the U.S. temperature and precipitation outlook for winter, extending from December through February. NOAA forecasters also will discuss current drought conditions in the U.S. and announce the seasonal Drought Outlook for the months ahead.
NOAA produces seasonal outlooks to help communities prepare for weather and climate that is likely to come during the next few months in order to minimize impacts on lives and livelihoods. Empowering people with the information they need to take action to protect themselves is key to NOAA’s effort to build a Weather-Ready Nation.
