The latest outlooks for January 2017 were published on December 31, 2016. They show that warmer and wetter than normal conditions have a somewhat increased chance of occurring in January, based on recent conditions and short-term projections. A lot of the wetness is coming early in the month, as we are seeing in the weather right now, but a return to drier conditions is likely based on long-term forecast models. This is consistent with the weak La Niña that is occurring right now.
