If you are enjoying the warmer weather as of late, you may be disappointed to hear, temperatures will soon be going back to October normals.
The past couple of weeks have been anywhere from 10 to 20 degrees higher than normals for this time of year, and as it starts to feel like October in the next couple of weeks, Tom Helman of the National Weather Service says, it could also be a bitter cold winter.
“We have a week La Nina pattern possibly setting up, which usually mean colder weather for us.”
Helman said this winter, could be one containing those ever popular arctic blasts.
“Usually that means a little more snow, and potentialy those long lasting arctic surges that everyone appreciates.”
It may not be bad news for everyone, Helman said winter outdoor enthusiasts could have a good season.
“Cross Country skiers and ice fishermen could have some good conditions this winter.”
So far this Fall, we should consider ourselves spoiled. The last couple of weeks, temperatures have been between 10 to 20 degrees higher then they normally are this time year.
“This won’t last forever”
Helman added we may not get as much mixed precipitation this winter.
