SPOKANE, Wash. — An agricultural meteorologist is predicting a dry spring and summer as La Niña returns.
Art Douglas spoke at the Spokane Ag Show last week and said “Any time we get into a rebounding La Niña situation, it’s really dangerous for the U.S. because it favors stronger drought development.”
The Capital Press reports he expects occasional cold air throughout the Pacific Northwest during the spring, averaging normal temperatures but dry conditions, especially in western Washington and Oregon.
