On October 4, 2023, AccuWeather released their winter prediction. They called for a El Niño; their forecast called for the Southeastern United States and California to be wetter than average, some of which could form severe weather outbreaks. The Midwestern United States was predicted to have higher temperatures and drier conditions than average. AccuWeather notes that cities like Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh are expected to have more snowfall than last year. The predictions for the West Coast were that storms will occur commonly in the winter. [3] On August 1, 2023 Ryan Hall, Y'all made a video called "This Winter Will Be VERY Different..." That has reached nearly 10 million views. He predicted the likelihood of a "big-daddy snowstorm" in parts of the Northeast and Ohio valley.[4]
