Map Shows Potential Snowfall Across US As Super El Niño Chances Climb
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Weather Service (NWS) Climate Prediction Center (CPC) say El Niño is strengthening and now has a greater than 90 percent chance of becoming a very strong event during fall and winter 2026-27. It can shift weather patterns around the world, influencing rainfall, winds, storm activity and temperatures, although its effects vary by region and from one event to another. That means some storms could produce rain at lower elevations rather than snow, particularly in parts of the West.The impacts are not uniform across the United States.
