A potential El Niño event is being monitored by NOAA. The organization notes that the Pacific is experiencing a rapid warmup, which could lead to a strong El Niño in 2026. The chances of this event occurring by late fall are estimated to be around 81 percent.

If it happens, it may rival some of the top El Niño events since 1950. For the San Antonio area, including Terrell Hills, the impacts of this event may not be felt until winter, according to NOAA. Further information on this potential El Niño event can be found through the source.
