*Winter Outlook: El Niño Could Shake Up the Season* AccuWeather’s early winter outlook pointed to warmer temperatures and below-average snowfall for New York, with a potentially powerful El Niño expected to influence weather patterns across the country. El Niño involves unusually warm water in the tropical Pacific that can shift storm tracks. Forecasters anticipated a slower transition to winter across much of the eastern U.S. Still, less snow overall would not rule out a major snowstorm. AccuWeather cautioned that a single East Coast storm could change the season’s totals, particularly in late January or February. *_Join the Island Media WhatsApp Status_* https://wa.me/19297271071?text=Subscribe *_Join the Island News and Updates group_* https://chat.whatsapp.com/Bi5MGP3Nx1qJUoVkKmYW5j
