The latest ENSO forecast, released today, shows that La Nina is still expected to be officially declared soon but the likelihood has gone down a bit because it is taking so long to develop. When (or if) it does occur, it is likely to be a weak and short-lived one. The strongest impacts in a weak La Nina are likely to be in southern AL and GA and down into Florida with fewer impacts in more northern parts of the region. La Nina winters are typically warmer and drier than normal as the jet stream is shifted to the north towards the Ohio River Valley.
