NOAA predicts 70% chance of La Niña winter: Here’s what that means for drought-stricken SoCal

As of Thursday, NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center says there’s a 70% chance that La Niña returns for a second straight winter, this time between the period of November 2021 and January 2022. As such, a La Niña Watch has been issued by the agency. So what does that mean for winter weather?
