LEWISTON, Maine, Aug. 12,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Get ready for a wild
ride! The Farmers' Almanac warns that winter 2024/25 is
shaping up to be a "wet whirlwind," meaning there will be a lot of
precipitation and storms. Depending on where you live, you may see
lots of snow or rain.
Brace yourself! The 2025 Farmers' Almanac
predicts a wet whirlwind winter with lots of snow, rain, and
storms.
Winter Temperatures – How Cold?
The Almanac is predicting a deep chill to settle over the Northern
Plains and Great Lakes regions for much of the
season. But don't think the South is off the hook. Southern
areas should expect some frigid blasts from Old Man Winter, even if
the temperatures are slightly more moderate overall. Cold
snaps are forecast to hit during the final week of
January into early February, with the Northern Plains potentially
seeing the most extreme cold.
Snow?
The Northeast is in the bullseye for a barrage of storms this
winter, with the Farmers' Almanac calling for
above-normal amounts of winter precipitation. Ski-lovers will
enjoy nice powder days. Snow will likely be more plentiful in the
interior and mountainous regions of New England and the Northeast,
while those near the coast can expect more rain. The Pacific
Northwest, Great Lakes, and Southeast should get ready for a wet,
white, and slushy season.
On the flip side, the Southwest and South Central States are
looking at a drier winter with below-normal precipitation.
Winter Warnings
The 2025 Farmers' Almanac
suggests keeping a close watch on the final week of January for an
active storm track that could bring heavy precipitation and strong
winds to the eastern half of the country. Texas and the Northwest may also want to
prepare for a potential snowstorm that could winter bring up to 6
inches to Texas, and a foot or
more to the Bitterroot Mountains of Idaho during the first week of February.
Farmers' Almanac Weather
Formula
The Farmers' Almanac's proprietary weather
prediction formula adapts to the mysteries of nature as well as the
effects of La Niña, which is predicted to develop and hang on
through the winter.
