El Niño and a polar vortex may combine to bring snow in Ohio for Thanksgiving
With El Niño expected to peak in the coming months and affecting winter weather across the Great Lakes , a polar vortex can also shift weather patterns.
El Niño typically brings warmer-than-normal temperatures and below-normal snowfall to the Great Lakes, though the polar vortex can alter that pattern and cause lasting impacts from late fall into winter.
November may begin warm, but a shift in the polar vortex could bring colder temperatures in Ohio as we move closer to Thanksgiving and Christmas .
