- 1:46Max predicts above-average snowfall along a southern track, with below-average snow across the northern tier.
- 3:12His precipitation outlook favors a wetter South and drier Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies.
- 4:29Temperature projections put unusual warmth across the Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast, with cooler conditions in the South.
- 7:45He explains ice-storm risks through atmospheric layering and comparisons with past strong El Niño winters.
- 9:40Pacific sea-surface temperature maps illustrate the east-based El Niño pattern behind his outlook.
- 10:45Max identifies the polar vortex as a wildcard for Northeast cold-air intrusions and snowfall.
Oklahoma could have a snowier winter while parts of the Great Lakes get a warmer one. That is the striking geographical split in Max Velocity's winter outlook, which drew about 766,000 views since yesterday.
In "The Snow Forecast This Winter Is INSANE...", the meteorologist lays out a southern storm track stretching from the Southwest through Oklahoma and into the Carolinas. He predicts above-average snowfall along that route, with below-average snow across the northern tier of the country.
He starts with a useful distinction: extra snow means something very different depending on where you live. A modest addition to Oklahoma City's usual snowfall, he explains, could double its winter total. His maps show departures from local averages, not a prediction that the South will become the country's snowiest region.
The temperature outlook follows a similar divide. Max projects unusual warmth across the Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast, contrasted with cooler conditions in the South. He also expects wetter weather across southern states and drier conditions in the Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies.
Behind those predictions is what he describes as a very strong, east-based El Niño in the Pacific. After a sponsored business-software segment, he turns to ice storms, explaining how layers of warmer and colder air can create freezing rain. In the comments, viewers repeatedly separate snow they can shovel from ice they fear, with some hoping winter precipitation will replenish water supplies.
The Northeast gets an important qualification near the end: Max identifies the polar vortex as the wildcard that could change how much Arctic air reaches the region, and with it, the opportunities for snow.
