Weather Patterns We’re Watching
True taste of winter is on the way for next weekend! The weakening of the polar vortex could usher in the coldest air of the winter for the third week of January.
Trivia
What is the polar vortex?
The polar vortex is a storm near the Arctic Circle that normally keeps cold air locked up near the North Pole. When the polar vortex weakens, it can shift southward into one or more regions around the Northern Hemisphere. When this movement occurs, Arctic air can spill southward into Europe, Asia or North America. The first signs of the polar vortex displacement will be later next week, which will knock temperatures back to near average. When this happens the cold air could produce some snow next weekend. The first true Arctic blast related to the displacement of the polar vortex is slated for Martin Luther King week with the chance for east coast snowstorms.
