US winter is likely to be wetter and warmer , forecasters say . If you want more snow , look south

Federal forecasters and meteorologists predict that the upcoming winter in the United States will be generally wetter and warmer than average. Despite the expectation of increased precipitation, experts note that these conditions do not necessarily translate to higher snowfall totals across the country.

The seasonal outlook is largely attributed to the influence of El Niño. While the national trend points toward milder temperatures, the forecast suggests that individuals seeking significant snowfall should look toward southern regions of the country.
