The latest monthly and seasonal outlooks for winter 2025-2026 were released today. They show the continued classical pattern for a weak La Nina, not surprising since we are in that now and it is expected to last for the next few months. Unfortunately, the dry conditions in southern Al and GA as well as the Florida Panhandle make it likely that the drought there may get even worse in the next few months. This is a concern for farmers who need rainfall over the winter as well as those hoping to get an early start planting next season, since there is a good chance that dry conditions may affect seed germination.
