The anticipated El Niño could bring heavy rains, flooding, and mudslides to the West Coast, particularly California, while the Southeast may face severe weather and coastal storms. Reduced snowpack in the Northern Rockies could impact water supplies, and atypical cold snaps in the South may lead to burst pipes and water damage. Homeowners in flood-prone areas are at heightened risk, with potential property damage from high winds, debris, and heavy rainfall. Experts caution that the southern tier of the U.S., including Texas, Florida, and the Gulf Coast, may experience wetter-than-average conditions, while the Pacific Northwest could see drier weather.
