The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released its winter forecast for December 2026 through February 2027. A strong El Niño is expected to influence weather patterns, favoring above-normal temperatures across much of New York and the northern United States. Precipitation forecasts show mixed results, with eastern New York likely to experience above-normal precipitation, while other areas have equal chances of above- or below-normal levels. AccuWeather also predicts a warmer and less snowy winter for the region.
