Mild Winter Expected for Most of U.S. in 2026-27
The Old Farmer's Almanac has released its winter forecast for 2026-2027, predicting a mostly mild season across the United States. While much of the country is expected to experience above-normal temperatures, certain regions, including the Northeast, Appalachians, and parts of the West, could see colder and snowier conditions. The Pacific Northwest and Alaska are forecast to have above-normal snowfall, with the snowiest periods likely in late December, mid-January, and February. Meanwhile, the Desert Southwest and High Plains are expected to be warmer and drier than usual. The forecast also highlights the influence of a strong El Niño, which is expected to shape storm tracks and precipitation patterns across North America. (Source time: not specified)
