ALT Facts about El Niño. El Niño is not a storm. El Niño is relatively warmer water in the tropical Pacific Ocean. El Niño tilts the odds for some regions to experience a warmer or colder winter, and it shifts where winter storm tracks tend to occur in the US. A very strong, possibly record El Niño is predicted for the 2026-2027 winter. A map of Pacific Ocean surface temperatures on October 14, 2026, from NOAA, shows a belt of warmer-than-average water extending along the equator from South America toward the central Pacific Ocean.
ALT Based on nine previous winters which featured a strong El Niño since 1950, West Michigan usually, but not always, receives the following weather patterns: Overall warmer than normal temperatures are likely. Below normal snow totals are likely. The total amount of precipitation, from rain and snow melt combined, leans drier than normal. Occasional cold snaps and snow storms still occur. Daily record snowfalls of 6 inches or more have occurred at Grand Rapids during previous Strong El Niño winters, despite season totals ending 1 to 2 feet below normal.

A collage of photographs shows NWS meteorologists analyzing weather data at computer workstations, delivering presentations, and posing together outside a Weather Forecast Office. NOAA and National Weather Service logos appear near the bottom left.
