A weak La Niña winter is expected despite the North ********* forecast model trending slightly warmer, indicating no La Niña and more of an ENSO-neutral winter. “A weaker La Niña implies that it would be less likely to result in conventional winter impacts, though predictable signals could still influence the forecast guidance.
