There's really not much of a link between La Nina and the monsoon in the southwestern US, so a continuation of La Nina likely won't impact the upcoming rainy season.  The relationship between La Nina and precipitation in the Southwest is much stronger during the winter, so a 3rd winter of La Nina would not bode well for a rainy winter, at least in New Mexico.  There's no clear link between La Nina and climate change at this time.
