PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) — Although it’s still summer, winter weather is approaching sooner than we may want to consider.
Calling it the “Great Winter Weather Reveal,” the Old Farmer’s Almanac is sharing its annual predictions for what Mother Nature has in store for the Pacific Northwest and the rest of the U.S. for the 2024-2025 winter season.
Each section for its winter extended forecast reports on how cold winter is expected in that region and whether there will be snow, but the key to this extended winter outlook is one thing: How much La Niña could play a role .
Oregon and Washington are divided into two regions for the Old Farmer’s Almanac : The Pacific Northwest, which covers the western portion of the states up to the Cascades, and then the Intermountain area, which covers central and eastern Oregon and Washington through all of Idaho into some of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada, most of Utah and even some of northern Arizona.
