An intensifying El Niño is expected to persist through early spring 2027, with a high probability of being very strong. This weather pattern typically shifts the Pacific jet stream southward, leading to warmer and drier conditions in the northern U.S. and Canada, while the U.S. Gulf Coast and Southeast experience increased precipitation and potential flooding. For snowfall, El Niño winters tend to favor increased snow in the southwestern U.S., southern Plains, and parts of the Southeast, with reduced snowfall in the northern U.S. and Canada, and notable declines around the Great Lakes and Northeast. However, climate change is contributing to an overall trend of less snowy winters across much of the contiguous United States. AI
