The United States could face significant winter weather impacts, particularly in the south-central and eastern regions, where colder temperatures and increased snowfall are expected. This could lead to travel disruptions, power outages, and challenges for infrastructure. Ski resorts in the western U.S. may benefit from above-average snowfall, particularly in the Sierra Nevada and Southern Rockies. In Europe, milder temperatures and reduced snowfall could impact winter tourism, especially in lower-altitude ski resorts. The potential for a disrupted polar vortex adds uncertainty, as it could lead to sudden and severe cold-air outbreaks in mid-to-late winter.
