‘Strong’ El Niño winter coming: Could Mississippi see snow?
SUMMARY: The Climate Prediction Center has stated with 100% certainty that El Niño will last through early winter and has a 90% or higher chance of lasting into spring. El Niño typically divides the country, with the southern US being wetter and the Pacific Northwest and Ohio Valley being drier and warmer. While El Niño’s impact on winter storms and snowfall is not guaranteed, it tends to suppress snowfall in most of North America. However, regions like Northern California, the Four Corners states, and the southern Appalachia region may see more snow during a strong El Niño. Climate change has also contributed to less snowy winters in the US.
