La Niña, the cold phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), is forecasted to coincide with the weakened Polar Vortex during the winter of 2024/2025. Historically, La Niña increases the likelihood of Stratospheric Warming events, which contribute to Polar Vortex disruptions. These disruptions lead to colder air escaping from the Arctic and pushing into southern regions of the United States, increasing the probability of severe winter conditions. This combination can result in higher risks of snow and ice storms, extreme cold, and frozen infrastructure, particularly affecting fire suppression systems and water pipes in areas not traditionally equipped for such weather.
