We do not republish articles from Newsweek. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
Read the original article on newsweek.com (opens in a new tab)Newsweek reports AccuWeather's winter outlook for a strong and possibly historic El Niño: flooding risk in the South and West, and a warmer, less snowy winter across the Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast. It attributes each forecast to a named source and keeps the forecasters' own caveats. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“The outlook, issued by private weather company AccuWeather”
Newsweek tells the reader early that the forecast comes from a private company. It does not present the forecast as an official government outlook.
“similar strength doesn’t necessarily translate to similar impacts”
The article keeps AccuWeather's caveat that a record-strength event need not bring record impacts. This guards the reader against reading the forecast as a certainty.
“areas that see the most precipitation could shift due to other atmospheric patterns or Pacific temperatures altering the storm track”
The article ends on the forecast's real uncertainty and does not overstate where flooding will hit.
