NOAA: El Niño Emerges, Set to Strengthen Into Winter

NOAA’s National Weather Service announced that El Niño has formed in the tropical Pacific and is likely to intensify to moderate or strong this fall, with a 63% chance that regional sea surface temperatures exceed 2.0°C—potentially a 'very strong' El Niño. The phenomenon alters the Walker Circulation and typically shifts the winter jet south, bringing warmer northern U.S. winters but drier conditions in parts of the Northwest and Ohio/Tennessee valleys, while the Southern U.S. can see stormier weather; West Coast high-tide flooding and ecological impacts can also occur. NOAA notes that ENSO forecasts now rely on both the ONI and the newer Relative Oceanic Nino Index (RONI), which better tracks changes in the Walker Circulation.

Massachusetts braces for a potential super El Niño and global climate ripple effects

Forecasters expect a 'super' El Niño to form later this year, potentially one of the strongest on record, which could bring a milder, snow-light winter to Massachusetts, a quieter Atlantic hurricane season, and broader global shifts toward warmer temperatures, possibly making 2027 the warmest year on record as ocean warmth releases into the atmosphere.

Wintry mix to snow could slick Boston-area commutes Thursday night into Friday

An incoming winter system for Thursday night into Friday will bring rain, then a wintry mix and snow across much of New England. The amount and type depend on how quickly cold air moves in and how heavy the precipitation is, with sleet possible near Worcester/Boston and notable travel impacts in eastern and northern Massachusetts. Snow totals may reach 2–4 inches in southern Vermont/NH and the Merrimack Valley; 1–2 inches in the Boston metro if changeover to snow is late, with less snow further south. Freezing rain could occur where surface temps hover near 32 F, while Southeastern Massachusetts faces 1–1.5 inches of rain on top of existing snow, risking localized flooding. Friday morning commutes look slick, and lingering freezing fog or drizzle could extend slick conditions. After the system, weekend looks calmer and milder with 40s–50s and a possible warm-up into the 60s next week.

Icy Start to Tuesday Morning Triggers Winter Weather Advisory

A two-part winter system moves overnight into Tuesday, bringing freezing rain and a risk of a light ice glaze (up to about 1/4 inch inland) that could slick untreated surfaces and affect the Tuesday morning commute. The Winter Weather Advisory covers counties west and north of Baltimore and Washington, with possible school disruptions depending on conditions. The freezing rain is expected 4–7 a.m. before temperatures rise and rain resumes later in the day; Monday’s snow has largely melted, though pockets of 1–3 inches were reported in some areas.

Winter Storm Reaches East as West Sees Record Warmth

Winter weather is returning to the Midwest and Northeast this weekend as a fast-moving system moves east, bringing snow and travel delays; meanwhile parts of the West are experiencing record warmth.

Next week could bring more storms and heavy rain to the Plains and Mississippi Valley, with potential flooding.
