Nor'easter storm surge raises questions about El Niño winter
Original: Why the nor'easter's storm surge was so high, and what it says about the El Niño winter ahead
A powerful nor'easter produced an unusually high storm surge along the US East Coast, and meteorologists are examining why the flooding reached the levels it did. Experts suggest the storm's behaviour may offer clues about the pattern of the winter ahead, as a strong El Niño develops in the Pacific and shapes weather across North America.
Why now: A strong El Niño is developing, making recent extreme coastal flooding a signal people are watching for what winter may bring.
