Farmer's Almanac Predicts Cold, Snowy Winter for Wyoming Amid El Niño Concerns
US · Published Aug 13, 2026
The Farmer’s Almanac has forecasted a cold, snowy, and breezy winter for Wyoming and the Rocky Mountain region for the 2026–2027 season.
This prediction is largely based on the development of a very strong El Niño in the Pacific Ocean, which is expected to be the dominant weather factor this winter.

Impact & Risks

The potential impacts of the upcoming winter in Wyoming remain uncertain due to the variability of El Niño patterns. If the storm track shifts south, Wyoming could experience a drier winter, which may affect water resources and agriculture. Conversely, if the storm track moves north, the state could face heavy snowfall, leading to potential travel disruptions and increased avalanche risks in mountainous areas. Meteorologist Don Day warns that early forecasts should be taken with caution, as small atmospheric changes can significantly alter outcomes.
