US · Published Aug 8, 2026
The Farmers' Almanac has released its 2026-2027 winter forecast, predicting a season of sharp contrasts across the United States.
An active southern storm track is expected to bring wetter-than-normal conditions to the South, including Southern California, Texas, and the Gulf Coast.

Impact & Risks

The forecast suggests significant impacts for various regions. The South may face challenges from wetter-than-normal conditions, including potential flooding and icy roads. The Northeast could experience hazardous travel conditions due to a mix of rain, sleet, and heavy snow, especially in inland areas. The Northern Plains and Great Lakes regions may encounter sudden cold snaps and snow squalls, which could disrupt daily activities. The middle of the country is expected to deal with frequent freeze-thaw cycles, creating slippery roads and challenging agricultural conditions. Coastal areas in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic may see fluctuating precipitation types, increasing the risk of ice-related hazards.
