  • 1. Winter isn’t done yet

    Part of the Polar Vortex is still active over Canada


    👉 Cold air can still drop south — especially into the northern & eastern U.S.

  • 2. The pattern is shifting
    • La Niña is fading → moving toward neutral
    • But the atmosphere still behaves in a “La Niña-like” way

    👉 Storm tracks shift north →

    Drier South → more active storms in the central U.S.

  • 3. The land is already dry

    Snowpack in parts of the West is below 50% of normal

    Soil moisture is already below average


    👉 This means:

    • faster spring warming
    • earlier drying
    • higher drought risk
