Winter is around the corner and according to scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, it's going to be a wet one in the northwest.

Large swaths of the South and the East Coast are favored to see warmer-than-average temperatures, while the Pacific Northwest has greater odds of cooler-than-normal conditions this winter.

La Niña conditions are expected to dominate across the United States, resulting in above-average temperatures across the southern states.

Data released Thursday predict the winter months will be wetter and cooler than normal in the northern tier of the U.S. and warmer and drier in the southern portion of the country.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has released its predictions for the winter of 2024-25. Climate experts predict the U.S. will slowly transition into a La Niña pattern that could bring wetter-than-average conditions for the North and drier-than-average conditions for the South.

NOAA's winter forecast outlook predicts above average precipitation in the Northwest and Great Lakes regions. The rest of the U.S. faces an average or warm and dry winter.
