ALT An active southern storm track associated with El Niño favors above-average rainfall across the northern Gulf Coast (50–70% probability). More frequent Gulf weather systems may bring multiple rounds of soaking rainfall, including flash flood potential. Periodic strong storm systems may increase opportunities for severe thunderstorms, especially as Gulf moisture interacts with passing cold fronts. Cold snaps and winter weather remain possible, but El Niño provides limited guidance on the likelihood of freezes, snow, or ice locally.
