A super El Niño is in place this winter which can have significant impacts on winter weather around the United States.
El Niño, a natural ocean and weather pattern in the tropical Pacific, causes warmer and drier than average conditions across the northern US and cooler, more stormy conditions across the South, according to the National Weather Service.
Use CNN’s winter weather alert tracker below to see advisories, watches and warnings across the country.
Even if some winter weather alerts span huge areas of the country, they may only affect a relatively small number of people. The map below shows how much of a state’s population is under winter weather advisories, watches or warnings.
Methodology: The population figures in the maps were calculated using a spatial analysis of the National Weather Service’s Public Forecast Zones and US Census Bureau’s five-year American Community Survey at the block group level for 2022. The figures, which should be considered estimates, were derived by merging geographic files provided by the two agencies and then summing the population.
