Super El Niño Sets Stage for Snowier Sierra, Warmer Northwest
TL;DR Summary
Strengthening El Niño signals a wetter California with above-average Sierra snowfall, especially in January, based on three climate models (CFSv2, SEAS5, NMME). Warmer conditions could lift the rain-snow line, boosting snowfall at higher elevations while reducing it at lower ones, and the Pacific Northwest may be warmer and drier. Tahoe resorts are planning openings from late November into December, but snowfall will be uneven and highly localized.
