As we have seen recently winter is well on its way. The National Weather Service has issued a statement regarding the effect of El Nino on this years’ winter weather. The Weather Service has predicted that El Nino will strengthen as we ease into winter. This will cause the Southeastern sector of the U.S. to see below-average temperatures this winter. Above average rainfall totals are expected across areas of the southeast as well. Along the lines of severe weather implications, NWS predicts an increased chance of organized tornado activity in Gulf Coast regions this winter.
