This winter could yield only half of our normal precipitation


(via Lawrenceville Weather Blog)  Accuweather long range forecaster Joe Bastardi has released his forecast for this winter, and it’s not real pleasant, though there is one potential bright spot.

The overall trend appears to be above average temperatures with below average precipitation.  I don’t like my odds for a white Christmas with that outlook…

However, he mentions a storm in the tropics that might bring us a good bit of rain.  From the article:

We will know in the next three to four weeks whether a storm from the tropics might arrive to help the southeast drought situation. If that doesn’t materialize, those states are looking at a very dry winter, with precipitation amounts less than half of normal in some areas.

It’s certainly worth a read.
