The updated winter temperature outlook from The Weather Company and Atmospheric G2 predicts a milder winter for the South and East of the United States, while the Northwest is expected to experience colder-than-average temperatures. The forecast, influenced by La Niña conditions, suggests that the South and East will see above-average temperatures from December through February, with the Northwest and parts of the northern Rockies and Plains trending colder. The potential for cold spells is higher in December, with a lower chance of polar vortex disruptions in January and February.
