Heavy snow fall expected this winter
Winter storms will push into the Pacific Northwest with heavy snowfall that’s been missing for the past several years as the region braces for great skiing and hazardous travel.
The preseason outlook predicting snowstorm after snowstorm is due to a La Nina cooling of the equatorial Pacific Ocean. That means the likelihood of more snow and colder temperatures targeting the Pacific Northwest.
One local meteorologist says Spokane should be ready for about 5 1/2 feet of snow this winter.
The shift from a warm El Nino phase the last two winters to a cool La Nina was picked up by tropical sea surface observations last summer by the Climate Prediction Center/Mike Prager, SR. More here.
