Al Jarand  Published: Jan 24, 2012 The Climate Prediction Center indicates, “The latest observations, combined with model forecasts, suggest that La Niña will be of weak-to-moderate strength this winter, and (growing weaker) until it likely dissipates sometime between March and May.   During January-March 2012, there is an increased chance of above-average temperatures across the south-central and southeastern US and below-average temperatures over the western and the central US. Also, above-average precipitation is favored across most of the northern tier of states and in the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, and drier-than-average conditions are more likely across the southern tier of the US.” RFD Radio's Al Jarand recently spoke with Illinois State climatologist Jim Angel about the possibilities of a wet spring for 2012.
