This forecast aligns with the typical southward shift of the jet stream during an El Ni\u00f1o event, which usually carries more moisture and precipitation along the southern tier of the US.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The map below shows snowfall totals for past moderate-to-strong El Ni\u00f1os. Notice how wetter-than-average conditions are shown across the southern Plains, Southeast, Gulf Coast and Mid-Alantic. While drier-than-average conditions are expected across parts of the Midwest, Pacific Northwest, and interior Northeast.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/map_avg-snowfall-anom-El-Nino-winters-moderate-to-strong-JFM_2000.png?itok=5i5zMlx5\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;An enhanced southern jet stream and associated moisture often present during strong El Nino events supports high odds for above-average precipitation for the Gulf Coast, lower Mississippi Valley, and Southeast states this winter,&#8221; Jon Gottschalck, chief of the Operational Prediction Branch of the Climate Prediction Center, wrote in a report.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/ohhh.png?itok=2azFqh2D\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Although actual snowfall depends on many factors, the latest forecast indicates that El Ni\u00f1o, the first in four years, might be a change for residences in Washington, DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City. These areas have experienced several years of\u00a0La Ni\u00f1a conditions, which have resulted in winters with minimal snowfall.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what the weather community on X is saying about this upcoming winter:<\/p>\n<p>For those of you following, I have been saying this is a migrating Modoki el nino ( my own phrase) where core of warmest water migrates from enso 1.2 to enso 3.4.
