When the polar vortex is strong, the mid-latitude Westerlies (winds at the surface level between 30° and 60° latitude from the west) increase in strength and are persistent. When the polar vortex is weak, high-pressure zones of the mid-latitudes may push poleward, moving the polar vortex, jet stream, and polar front equatorward. The jet ...
The FOX Forecast Center said a lobe of the polar vortex will dip to the south and move into the U.S. this weekend and into next week. "These are the types of weather systems that even bring cold ...
Beginning Saturday, the polar vortex began to dip down into the northern tier of the U.S., dropping temperatures into the single digits. Wind chills dropped into the negative teens for that region.
A dangerous and potentially life-threatening stretch of cold weather has much of the U.S. on alert as a lobe of the polar vortex invades the nation and sends temperatures tumbling to levels not ...
The polar vortex, which is a storm at the jet stream level of the atmosphere, has kept frigid air pent up above the Arctic. ... February 1, 2023 at 12:37 PM. 1 / 6.
It was the coldest January in much of the continent, especially the U.S., in at least a decade, bringing temperatures as much as 20–35 °F (−6.7–1.7 °C) below average to a majority of the country Originating from the southward migration of the polar vortex after an arctic front passed through the continent in early January, the pattern ...
Editor's Note for Sat. Jan. 18: A polar vortex is set to impact much of the US. Click here for the latest update. A polar vortex is forecasted to blanket most of the continental United States in ...
Major SSWs occur when the winter polar stratospheric westerlies reverse to easterlies. In minor warmings, the polar temperature gradient reverses but the circulation does not, and in final warmings, the vortex breaks down and remains easterly until the following boreal autumn". [3]
