The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center will issue its winter outlook 11 a.m. Oct. 20 via a teleconference.
The temperature and precipitation prognosis for the winter months of December 2022 to February 2023 will be released by the Climate Prediction Center, a branch of the National Weather Service, according to an Oct. 13 news release.
“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,” the NOAA release said.
NOAA experts will discuss the ongoing drought in the United States and reveal the climate elements that will affect the drought prognosis for the upcoming winter season, the release reported. NOAA creates seasonal outlooks to aid in the nation’s preparation for expected weather and climatic trends over the coming months, minimizing adverse effects on lives and livelihoods.
Jon Gottschalck, chief of the Operational Prediction Branch at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center; Brad Pugh, operational drought lead with NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center; and Tom DiLiberto, climate scientist with NOAA’s Climate Program Office, will be available for questions and answers, according to the release.
