La Niña isn’t here yet, but has a 60% chance of emerging through November, according to the Climate Prediction Center.
While it’s still unclear just how strong La Niña will get, current forecasts favor a weaker one.
That outlook could be change when the center releases its latest forecast on Thursday based on trends toward a weaker La Niña.
CNN WeatherThis is due to the behavior of the jet stream — essentially a river of air that storms flow through — which often shifts north during a La Niña winter.
La Niña had a hand in the extremely wet winter much of the state endured from December 2022 to February 2023 and during the wet winter before that.
