Track: Winter weather alerts across the US

By Amy O’Kruk, CNN

(CNN) — With forecasters predicting a classic El Niño winter this year, it could mean more snow in some parts of the country.

El Niño, a natural ocean and weather pattern in the tropical Pacific, could mean higher chances of snow in some atypical areas and more potent Northeast snowstorms, according to weather experts.

In general, El Niño will likely mean a warmer and wetter winter in parts of the US. It typically brings wetter and cooler weather to the South while the north becomes drier and warmer.

Use CNN’s winter weather alert tracker 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.
