El Niño Sets a Patchwork Winter for the U.S.

The Farmers Almanac’s 2026-27 winter forecast says a strong El Niño will shape a regional mix: more storms for the South and Desert Southwest (with heavier snowfall in the southern Rockies), drier and variable conditions in the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest amid cold snaps, a potentially less dependable snow season for the Pacific Northwest, and a complex Northeast with inland heavy snow and coastal rain/mix as storm tracks shift, including uncertain swings in the Mid-Atlantic and New England.

Winter 2026-27: A Seasonal Tug-of-War Across the U.S.

Farmers' Almanac's 2026-27 winter forecast predicts a season of sharp contrasts: wetter-than-normal conditions across the South on an active storm track, changeable conditions with above-average mountain snow in the West, near-normal temperatures punctuated by quick cold snaps across the Northern Plains and Great Lakes, and a complicated Northeast with inland heavy snow in Jan–Feb and rain or mixed precip near the coast. El Niño is expected to influence the pattern, favoring southern moisture but leaving totals uncertain; the Almanac cites 80–85% regional accuracy, though long-range forecasts carry substantial uncertainty for specific locations.

Alabama's 2024 Winter Forecast: Bitter Cold and Snow Expected

The Farmer’s Almanac and the National Weather Service are predicting below-average temperatures for Alabama from mid-February through the end of the month, with hints of bitter cold and unseasonably cold weather. The possibility of snow remains uncertain, but the Climate Prediction Center suggests a higher probability of below-average temperatures and drier-than-average weather for most of the state during this period. However, spring is on the horizon, with meteorological spring beginning on March 1 and astronomical spring arriving on March 19.

"Predicting Spring: Groundhog's Forecast vs. Science and Tradition"

Punxsutawney Phil predicts an early spring, with the Old Farmer's Almanac also forecasting a warmer-than-average spring on the East Coast but a chillier one in some regions. In contrast, the Farmers' Almanac anticipates a "Polar Coaster Spring" with cold temperatures and possible late snow. Both almanacs claim high accuracy rates, but a 2010 study found the Old Farmer's Almanac to be correct only about 50% of the time.
