Climate Prediction Center - Preliminary Winter Outlook

On November 15, the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) put out a preliminary winter outlook for the three-month period of December through February.

Since the final map may be different than the preliminary, I'll give you the link but discuss the outlook here.

Temperatures are expected to be warmer than average across much of the western U.S., from Louisiana to Kansas to parts of Oregon and southern Montana.

Below normal temperatures are expected in southern Alaska, the northern plains including the U.P. of Michigan, and a large part of Florida.

As far as precipitation probabilities, above normal chances exist across parts of the south, the lower Ohio Valley and Tennessee Valley. Some states include Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

Below normal precipitation chances exist in southern Alaska and California, generally north of Los Angeles and into parts of Nevada.
