WASHINGTON — If you thought last winter was a horror show, with cold blasts from the polar vortex and a lack of California rain, here's some good news: No sequel is expected this year, federal forecasters say.
Mike Halpert of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday that the upcoming winter looks pretty average in general. He doesn't expect a lot of extreme conditions like last year's cold outbreaks when Arctic air dipped south with the polar vortex.
"A repeat of last winter is not particularly likely," said Halpert, acting director of NOAA's Climate Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland.
Feds Don t expect winter to be polar vortex redux

Polar Vortex to Blast 200 Million People With Arctic Air
Arctic air associated with the polar vortex will lunge into the North Central United States early next week and will expand southward and eastward to affect about 200 million people as the week progresses.
Polar Vortex to Blast 200 Million People With Arctic Air
NOAA predicts that this winter probably won't feature the same multiple, repeated blasts of Arctic air carried south by a wobbly jet stream that froze the eastern parts of the country last winter (remember - "California had its warmest April-September on record this year with an average temperature of 70.0°F, 3.3°F above average. This bested the previous record set just last year by 0.6°F. Oregon had its second warmest warm season, Washington its third warmest" - NOAA). That doesn't mean that there will be no Arctic air incursions into the USA this winter, just probably not the same repeated pattern.
it is just a guess --LOL--LOL@U loser
Well actually, berserko, normal unretarded people call it a long range weather forcast, but since you're so scientifically ignorant, on top of being an imbecile, I suppose pretty much everything that scientists figure out seems like "a guess" to you
