CRYSTAL SPRINGS issued the following announcement.
Autumn is known for its shorter days, colorful leafy landscapes and cool, crisp nights, but Americans looking forward to these fall staples may need to wait a little longer this year as summer lingers across much of the United States.
The autumnal equinox will mark the official changing of the seasons with fall kicking off on Tuesday, Sept. 22, at 9:30 a.m. EDT. This may seem like a long ways away for some, but AccuWeather’s team of long-range forecasters have been busy for weeks analyzing global weather patterns and different forecasting tools to paint a picture of what weather will unfold across the United States in the coming months. The team is led by Paul Pastelok, a senior meteorologist who has been with AccuWeather for nearly three decades.
One big factor being taken into consideration for the 2020 U.S. fall forecast is the development of La Niña. This is a phenomenon in which the ocean near the equator of the Pacific Ocean is cooler than normal, a change that can influence the global weather pattern. La Niña is the opposite of El Niño.
Even with the changing of the seasons in September, it may still feel like summer for many across the U.S. as warm weather holds strong over much of the country. October will be a major turning point in the season for temperatures in the central and northwestern U.S., while residents near the Atlantic and Gulf coasts remain vigilant amid a very active hurricane season.
