Winter Outlook

NOAA is out with its updated winter outlook – a prediction it says was more challenging because of what they call an indecisive El Nino.  The weather prognotiscators say the El Nino has stopped developing but could over the next few months.  NOAA’s Mike Halpert says the models are taking this into account and much of the western u-s will probably see a milder Winter – including North Dakota.  Wetter than average conditions are favored across the gulf coast states including the northern half of Florida.
