Record High (Polar Vortex) Artic°Cold° Frigid° Outbreak Massive Bomb Cyclone Thundersnow Freeze USA
A blast of arctic cold air is headed into the U.S. beginning late this week. It will penetrate into the South by this weekend, and could drop temps below freezing for several days.
Some daily cold records will be in jeopardy.
This generally colder pattern could hang on until the last full week of January or longer.The polar vortex is a band of strong winds circling the #NorthPole. A constant, stable spin of those winds keeps the arctic air locked in place. When the winds slow and become unstable, just like a top, the vortex wobbles.Even as Arctic air is polar - coming from the north pole - the polar vortex lives in the stratosphere, about 10 to 30 miles above the Earth's surface. Usually every other year, sometimes once a year, the polar vortex weakens, being pushed off of the pole or split into two areas covering far northern latitudes.
