The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said it is predicting La Niña conditions to develop this winter, which will play a major role in upcoming weather patterns.

Climate Prediction Center has just released its outlook for the winter of 2024-25. A“slowly-developing” La Niña is expected to shape weather throughout the country from December through February, NOAA says.

Depending on where you live in the U.S., this winter could bring a mix of snow and rain or unseasonably warm weather, according to climate experts.
