The Climate Prediction Center’s latest outlooks for March and upcoming spring months call for wetter-than-average weather in the northernmost parts of California and drier-than-average conditions in the southeast. The pattern is consistent with what’s expected for La Niña, which typically brings drier-than-normal winters for the southern tier of the United States and wetter-than-normal conditions to the Pacific Northwest. For much of California, forecasters declared equal chances for below-normal, near-normal or above-normal precipitation.
