El Niño is expected to bring warmer and drier conditions to parts of the U.S. this winter.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts that the Pacific Ocean phenomenon will be weak to moderate this year.
El Niño typically brings warmer and drier conditions to the southern U.S. and cooler and wetter conditions to the northern U.S.

The forecast could mean a milder winter for parts of the country, including the Northeast and Midwest.
However, the West Coast could experience drought conditions due to the lack of precipitation.
The El Niño forecast is not a guarantee, and other weather patterns could still impact the U.S. this winter.
