    Some highlights if you don’t want to click:

    Temperatures are forecast to be warmer than normal for all of the northern U.S., from northern California, Oregon and Washington to Pennsylvania, New York and into New England.

    NOAA says that temperatures will stay closer to the 30-year average for the South.

    For the precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, etc.), the northern states could see below-normal snowfall, especially in the northern Rockies and the Great Lakes.

    Across most of the South, wetter than normal conditions are expected, especially in the Southeast from Louisiana to Florida and into the Carolinas.

    For the Northeast, there is a chance that this will be a wetter than normal winter from Washington, D.C., to Philadelphia, to New York City and into southern New England.

    super important detail

    One other thing to note, this is all a probability forecast. The atmosphere is very fluid and dynamic, and forecasts could change.
