Here’s what NOAA’s annual winter outlook forecasts for New England
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released its annual U.S. Winter Outlook Thursday, offering a glimpse at what to expect for temperatures and rain in coming months. Overall, it will be a relatively warm and wet winter for the region.
According to the NOAA’s outlook, most of New England is due for warmer-than-average temperatures through the 2022 winter season. The above-normal temps are expected in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and the southern halves of New Hampshire and Maine. Most of Vermont and the northern parts of New Hampshire and Maine are in for typical winter temperatures, meaning it won’t be colder or warmer than average.

As for precipitation, most of New England falls into the category of “equal chances for below-, near-, or above-average seasonal total precipitation.” But the northern area of Maine and Vermont will likely have a wetter-than-average winter. The same is true for the Pacific Northwest, northern Rockies, Great Lakes, and Ohio Valley.
The NOAA said the western and southwestern regions of the U.S. will likely be drier than average this winter, with widespread extreme drought to persist across much of the West, the Great Basin, and the central-to-southern Great Plains.
The NOAA said it doesn’t project seasonal snowfall accumulations as snow forecasts are generally not predictable more than a week in advance.
