The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has released its winter weather outlook, here's what Nashville and Middle Tennessee can expect.

Depending on where you live in the U.S., this winter could bring a mix of snow and rain or unseasonably warm weather, according to climate experts.

The temperature outlook is forecasting a 50-60 percent probability that southern Alabama will have warmer-than-average temperatures over the winter months. Central and most of north Alabama have slightly lower but still decent odds of a warmer winter — 40 to 50 percent, according to the outlook. (The temperature outlook is at the top of this post.)
