Super El Niño Forecast Predicts Record-Breaking Snowfall in California

Super El Niño Forecast Predicts Record-Breaking Snowfall in California

A developing 'super El Niño' is expected to bring record-breaking snowfall to California and other parts of the Southwest U.S. during the 2026–2027 winter season, according to OpenSnow's Winter Forecast Preview. Meteorologist Alan Smith highlighted that this strong El Niño pattern is shaping an active southern storm track, favoring above-average precipitation across the West Coast, Southwest, and other regions. The Central Sierra, including popular destinations like Mammoth Mountain and China Peak, is projected to see the highest snow accumulations. While Northern California and the Tahoe region may experience warmer-than-average conditions, the overall outlook suggests California could become a premier snow destination this winter. The heaviest storm cycles are anticipated to occur after the new year. (Source time: 2026-08-16 23:13:46 GMT)
