Document Description
As last year’s El Niño continues to deteriorate, CPC has issued a La Niña watch as conditions favorable to the development of an (albeit weak) La Niña are expected to continue during August-October. CPC is predicting a 55-60% chance of La Niña occurring during the fall and winter of 2016-17.
Previous La Nina’s have brought cooler and wetter conditions to the Pacific Northwest during winter months.
