Generally once you get past spring, forecasts become more reliable and trustworthy, although they are certainly not perfect. The El Ni\u00f1o, if it occurs as expected, is likely to bring cooler, cloudier and wetter weather to much of the Southeast next winter when it is at its peak. This is due to the presence of the subtropical jet across Florida and into southern Alabama and Georgia, which pushes low pressure centers and their associated wet weather across the region. The El Ni\u00f1o is also expected to reduce the development of tropical storms in the Atlantic later in the season as it becomes more established.
