FOX8 MAX Weather Chief Meteorologist Van Denton is releasing his winter weather predictions.

Denton was the fourth in the FOX8 Max Weather Center to reveal his winter weather predictions.

“This year I’m basing [my predictions] on the La Niña because La Niña and El Niño seem to be the most reliable way to tell what’s happening months into the future,” Denton said.

Coldest temperature? 11 degrees
