A popular weatherman says early data is pointing towards a cold, stormy and disruptive winter. Independent meteorologist Mark Gremillion, host of the popular Weatherman Plus channel, reports that long-range signals point to the "strongest winter weather signal in a decade" for the upcoming 2026–2027 winter season.

Gremillion says a highly active climate pattern is expected to drive severe cold and major disruptions.

"Winter Will Be A Strong One This Year," he wrote on Facebook.

El Nino is projected to push a highly active subtropical jet stream across the eastern United States, pumping massive amounts of moisture northward.

Gremillion reports that the collision of consistent Arctic air with moisture from the jet stream should create the ideal environment for widespread, heavy snow, ice, and mixed precipitation.
