    THIS WINTER

    A very strong El Niño is steering the Valley’s winter

    What will this winter be like in Columbus, Georgia?

    A very strong El Niño is steering the Valley’s winter — NOAA puts it at 60% odds of a wetter November through January.

    A very strong El Niño is in place — the three-month index sits at +2.46, and anything past plus nought point five counts. An El Niño strengthens the subtropical jet stream straight across the southern United States. In the record that has usually meant a wetter and often cooler cold season along the Gulf South, with more storm systems crossing the region and a raised risk of severe weather in the Gulf states. For November through January the Climate Prediction Center gives this area 60% odds of a wetter November through January. None of that is a forecast for any one day; it is where the odds sit for the season as a whole.
