NOAA Winter forecast has the region warmer, wetter than average

NOAA has released its official winter weather outlook and it’s not good news for local snow-lovers.

A La Nina pattern over the Pacific Ocean will again play a major role in the winter weather.

Forecasters have all of Kentucky and Tennessee leaning toward a warmer than average winter and slightly leaning toward more precipitation than normal.

While those warmer temperatures could spell less opportunities for snow in the upcoming winter, it only takes a couple major winter storm systems to shape how you will remember the upcoming winter.
