I'm going with The Old Farmers Almanac:

Federal scientists report a greater than 90% chance that a "very strong" 
El Niño will develop and intensify through the fall and winter of 2026–27.

There is a 69% chance it could become a historic, record-setting event.

Wetter-than-average conditions are expected across parts of the South 
and California, raising flood and high sea-level risks, while northern 
regions trend drier.
