The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's latest winter outlook offers a glimpse of what DC could expect, though snowfall totals remain uncertain. What is El Niño? How could El Niño affect Washington DC's winter? El Niño occurs when sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean become warmer than usual, influencing atmospheric circulation and weather patterns around the world. The effects vary by region and from one El Niño event to another. Other atmospheric patterns also play a role, making it difficult to predict exactly how the climate phenomenon will affect a particular city months ahead of time.

A weaker vortex could eventually help push colder air into eastern North America, possibly supporting an early December snow window for Baltimore.
