US Winter Is Likely to Be Wetter and Warmer, Forecasters Say. If You Want More Snow, Look South
El Niño is expected to bring more moisture and higher temperatures, with Chicago, Boston, New York and Philadelphia forecast to get half or less of normal snow.
- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released its official winter outlook Thursday, forecasting a generally wetter and warmer season across the United States.

- While extreme Arctic air may be less frequent, National Weather Service meteorologist Jon Gottschalck noted that significant snowstorms remain a potential risk this winter.
- Private meteorology firm AccuWeather predicts similar northern snow shrinkage, though it forecasts above-normal winter snow for Salt Lake City, the only major metro area expected to see an increase.
