NOAA's winter forecast for December 2022 to February 2023 calls for wetter conditions in the Pacific Northwest and drier conditions in Southern California as a result of the continuing La Niña phenomenon. In a region that is severely water-stressed, what does this mean? It was an unusually dry winter due to a La Niña pattern last winter. The National Weather Service's Brian Garcia calls it an unprecedented occurrence. There have only been two previous instances of this in the past 70 years. The next La Niña is not expected to happen until the end of June. La Niña can happen twice in a row, but what US forecasters call a 'triple dip' is unusual.
