Southeast Climate Monthly Webinar: December 14, 2021
Following an active tropical season and wet summer, the Southeast region is becoming drier. A below-normal amount of precipitation for this time of year is leading to lower streamflows and drought conditions, especially in the Carolinas and parts of Virginia. The current La Niña is expected to continue through the winter, with drier and warmer than normal conditions predicted for much of the region.
