Old Farmer’s Almanac winter forecast for 2026-27: What weather will the Northeast see?
The Northeast faces a divided winter, with colder, snowier inland areas and milder conditions closer to the Atlantic coast.
The Old Farmer's Almanac has released its 2026-27 winter outlook, predicting a sharp split in weather conditions across the Northeast. The southern part of the region is expected to be colder and snowier than normal, while the northern areas may experience warmer temperatures and less snow. The Atlantic Corridor is anticipated to have a milder winter with above-normal temperatures and slightly below-normal snowfall.
This forecast is influenced by a developing strong El Nino in the Pacific, which can impact winter weather across the United States. The coldest periods are expected to be early and mid-January, with the snowiest stretches around mid- and late December, mid-January, and early and late March. Overall, the winter pattern may vary significantly even within the same region, with areas farther south potentially facing more cold and snow, while northern parts could enjoy a milder season.
