NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center has released weather maps that attempt to forecast weather for the 2020 – 2021 winter. The outlook weather maps show both temperature predictions as well as precipitation predictions.
Here is a look at the winter weather prediction maps by month for the 2020 – 2021 winter.
So what does this weather forecast tell us, skiers and snowboarders?
NOAA is predicting above-average snowfall this winter in Montana, Wyoming, and the Mid-west. Northern Colorado could also see an increased chance of precipitation starting in March. For the rest of the west including Colorado, Utah, California, Nevada, Idaho, and the Pacific Northwest there is an Equal Chance (EC) for average snowfall. The areas that could come up short on snowfall this winter due to a La Niña pattern include Arizona and New Mexico.
