Residents may be hearing about a "Super El Niño" in the media. This term refers to a strong El Niño, which is a natural weather pattern in the Pacific Ocean.

A strong El Niño could mean a cooler winter with above-average precipitation for the area. However, it's not a guarantee and the term "Super El Niño" is considered an exaggeration.

Further information about El Niño and its potential effects on the local weather is available from KSAT 12, the ABC affiliate in San Antonio.
