El Niño may alter winter patterns
A very strong El Niño is developing in the Pacific and is expected to significantly influence winter weather patterns in the U.S., potentially interacting with the polar vortex to create unpredictable effects. While El Niño typically causes wetter conditions in the South and less snow in the Great Lakes and Pacific Northwest, its precise impact on regional weather remains uncertain, especially if it weakens the polar vortex or triggers stratospheric warming events. Scientists highlight that the complex interactions among these atmospheric patterns are not fully understood, making predictions about specific regional outcomes challenging.
