With a weak La Niña returning in the equatorial Pacific, our weather across the Great Lakes could turn more active for the remainder of winter.
Spring is weeks away and forecasts from NOAA to the Old Farmer's Almanac show what might be in store for Indiana.
A weak La Nina event has arrived in the Pacific, bringing colder waters and potentially cooler weather. Despite being delayed and relatively weak, La
La Niña has arrived and is likely to be impacting the winter season, including how much snow and rain New England might see before the start of spring.
CPC and BoM monitor La Niña conditions, with ONI values indicating potential emergence, while ENSO remains neutral.
We are halfway through winter and after an exceptionally warm start, North America’s winter is transitioning toward more predictable patterns with La Niña.
Spring warmth that is projected for March and April means we need to be ready for the possibility of an active start to the season in terms of severe weather.

Will spring arrive early? What NOAA says
A La Niña winter just started, but it isn’t expected to last long. National forecasters are already looking ahead to the spring season. A new long-range forecast released Thursday shows broad weather predictions for February, March and April nationwide.
Several ski resorts in B.C. are thriving despite a delayed La Niña, which was expected to bring cooler temperatures and greater precipitation to mountains throughout the province.
Dr. Johnna Infanti from NOAA's Climate Prediction Center joins FOX Weather to discuss the potential impacts of a La Niña in the U.S.
La Niña is usually associated with drier conditions across the southern part of the U.S. and wetter conditions to the north. This reflects how La Niña is associated with a more poleward-shifted jet stream that deflects the storm tracks to the north (both Emily and Tom have written some nice explainers).
In the January to March 2025 quarter, warmer than normal average temperatures are expected (0.5 °C to 1.0 °C, in the Pacific slope and Central Valley; as well as between 0.25 °C to 0.5 °C in the Caribbean slope and northern zone (Eastern and Western).
