Coastal flooding and beach erosion are expected to be frequent throughout the winter, particularly during coastal storms. Snowfall will vary by zone, with coastal areas seeing below-normal amounts and higher elevations experiencing near-to-above-normal snowfall. Ice impacts are possible in certain zones, with freezing rain events likely. The Mid-Atlantic and New England regions face a high threat of significant winter storms, especially in January and February. Wild card events, such as a single storm producing a season's worth of snow, remain a possibility due to the strong El Niño conditions.
