There is NO END IN SIGHT to this brutally... Cold pattern, with multiple waves of Arctic air likely to continue pouring into the U.S. well into mid-December. The Polar Jet Stream will keep diving south again and again, dragging down round after round of frigid Canadian air. This is the kind of cold we normally see in the heart of January - seeing it this early is highly unusual. Temperatures will run 10, 20, even 30 degrees below normal, and some locations may drop below zero for a prolonged stretch. Wind chills will be even worse. Bottom line: ⬇️ The cold isn’t going anywhere. Bundle up… it’s going to be a long, frigid stretch. 🥶show more

⚠️ I’m not liking the way this Winter Storm... is trending for our Texas brotheren.... One aspect that isn’t being talked about enough is the combination of significant Ice Accumulations followed by days of Brutal Cold. If Texas were to receive even a fraction of the ice currently being shown, widespread power outages would become a real concern. With frigid air rushing in behind the storm, temperatures could remain at or below freezing for days, making recovery much harder. This will not be as cold as the deadly Winter Storm of 2021, but the dangerous combination of ice and prolonged cold will still be there. 🌡️ Some areas could see temperatures 30 to 40 degrees below average after the storm, which would compound impacts if outages occur. I’m not saying panic, my Texas brotheren, but this is a situation worth paying attention to and preparing for if current trends hold. 👀 I’ll be watching this LIKE A HAWK 🦅show more

Eastern Europe is set to experience the strongest cold... spell of this winter so far, especially in Ukraine and Belarus. 🥶🧐 Temperatures will drop below −25 °C around the turn of the week, which is 10 to 20 °C lower than is typical for the region: However, the mass of Arctic air will not spread much farther into Europe and will stall over Eastern Europe. The temperature evolution over the next five days is shown in the video below.show more

After an extraordinary holiday heat dome across the US,... get ready for a Polar Vortex Invasion next week! Cold air will surge deeeeeep South with 20s in the Southeast and 30s far south into #Florida. What’s most interesting is airmass won’t be super cold up north - just slightly below normal. Instead the South will get the brunt, with the SE & FL 15-20° below normal!show more

Winter comeback in Europe? 🧐Across much of Europe, a... prolonged period of below-average temperatures will begin on Wednesday. 🥶 This is likely to last until Easter. The video shows the development of temperature anomalies from Wednesday one week ahead. At the same time, there will be plenty of precipitation, so higher elevations will see significant snowfall. ❄️ Much of Europe is heading for a cold transition from March to April and likely also a chilly Easter.show more

For several weeks now, a significantly colder-than-average air mass... has been present over Antarctica. 🧐🥶 In the coming days, temperatures there are expected to remain more than 20 °C / 40 °F below the long-term average (see the video). This mass of Antarctic air is concentrated mainly over the continent, where it has persisted for an extended period. In recent days, some of this cold air has also spread into South America, bringing below-average winter temperatures there as well:show more

What’s driving the upcoming record breaking cold snap?? It’s... widespread warmth (up-to 30F above normal) and intense blocking in the Arctic/ Greenland/N Canada. That is squeezing out the (tropospheric) Cold Polar Vortex and forcing it south deep into the US. While it may be tempting to blame Global warming-low Arctic sea ice-& Arctic amplification for this, the climate change component is likely enhancing, but is not the primary driver. Teleconnections to various natural oscillations (and the stratosphere) working in tandem are often the culprit in these high latitude blocks. Climate change simply piggy backs and makes the blocking - and amp’d pattern - more extreme. (But it does NOT make the cold air, colder which is a common misconception)show more

GFS still maintaining a winter storm icy scenario. Despite... the EURO northern turn GFS hasn’t really changed. NWSAtlanta in their briefing this afternoon said models really struggle with the Arctic systems and overrunning. They stated that even 24 hours out it is difficult to predict precip types and locations. Throw in the Cold Air Damming we get in N Georgia and that makes it even harder to predict. We still have a Winter Storm Watch out for the entire Tristate area I cover and that watch could even be expanded southward NWS is saying. The hurricane hunters are doing sampling missions for NWS and that data will be entered into the models. Any additional support we can get will help. The upper air soundings just aren’t as good over western Canada and some parts of the USA. Therefore model initialization happens at different starting points for each set. Hopefully get some kind of agreement that zeroes in better. I would like to see a warmer solution especially if ice is the main problem. We have lots of cold air coming after the storm and anything that is on the ground or roads will not go away fast. Very COLD air is coming. #gawxshow more

If you like cold and snow in the East,... the pattern the next 2 weeks is text book! Watch as a Giant Greenland Block intensifies and retrogrades across the Canadian Tundra through the period, forcing cold air deep south and trapping it in the Eastern US. This pattern may even have potential for Southern ❄️ ! We’ll see. For the layman, (relative) warm blocking in the Arctic “displaces” the tropospheric Polar Vortex, forcing cold southward into the US. For the weather nerds out there, the high latitude block reaches 4.5 Standard Deviations / Sigma from the mean next weekend on the European model. Easily a record. It may not verify, but if it’s even in the ballpark, it’s on like Donkey Kong! Buckle up!!show more

⚠️ Highly Disruptive Cross Country Winter Storm late week-weekend!... ⚠️ Deep South Ice Storm appears likely. The real question is how far south the ice gets. An extremely cold airmass with a near record Canadian High Pressure will drop south & undercut a strong-moist subtropical jet stream. This combo will bring a long swath of snow and ice accumulation from the Rockies to the Southeast / Mid-Atlantic Coast. Stay tuned for details.show more

Powering our very unusual pattern - with early season... Gulf cold fronts and strong wind shear - is an extremely amplified jet stream for September. It has thrown the whole Northern Hemisphere weather off-kilter. That means cool-dry weather this weekend for North-Central Florida about a month early! It also means hurricane killing wind shear across the Atlantic Basin! Here's the science: Warm air is being forced all the way up to the Arctic circle by an elongated jet stream. That will cause an "Omega block" to form this weekend over Central Canada - you can see the Greek Omega shape with cold air on either side. These "blocking" patterns are very tough to dislodge. Because what goes up, must come down, cool air is being forced south along the Eastern Sea Board bringing Faux Fall to Florida. Faux or not, we will take it! WFLA NEWSshow more

❄️ SNOWFALL REPORT: This Week (12/1) More snow is... on the way as a series of storm systems sweeps across the country, bringing brutal cold temperatures behind them. Here’s a breakdown of each Storm ⬇️ 1️⃣Everything kicks off Tuesday morning with our first storm, bringing widespread accumulating snow from the Ohio Valley into the Northeast. The jackpot looks to be the interior Northeast, where 4-8” are possible. Along the coast (NYC, Boston, DC), expect mostly rain. 2️⃣Later in the week, a second storm may take a similar track, bringing another round of accumulating snow to the Northeast. Details are still TBD, but snow is definitely on the table. 🥶Behind both storms, the Polar Vortex will dip into the U.S., delivering a surge of very cold air - highs in the 20s, 30s, and 40s across the eastern U.S. It’s going to be a fun week 😎❄️show more

In the stratosphere at an altitude of around 30... km, the polar #vortex is partly distorted and split into two lobes. 🧐 Over the next 14 days, its lack of compactness is expected to prevail, as indicated by model forecasts. Such a state of the polar vortex allows cold Arctic air to penetrate into lower latitudes in some regions. This is currently affecting Europe, while warm weather prevails in America.show more

A 180! After a record hot Christmas across the... Middle & parts of the South, a New Year’s Arctic Blast promises a Deep South Freeze by New Year’s Eve. Gonna be quite the shock to the system, with 20s into North FL, 30s Central FL, and this one may actually reach far South FL with 40s! These are real temps. Wind chills will be lower. #florida #coldshow more

Looks like poor EV charging infrastructure isn’t only isolated... to the North. Someone has just sent me this from South Mimms M25 services during the recent cold snap 🥶 - surely with the growing number of EV’s, this is a sight we will see more and more of?show more

A mass of Arctic air will become trapped over... eastern Europe. 🥶 In #Ukraine, #Belarus, and western #Russia, temperatures will regularly drop to around −20 °C over the next at least 14 days, while daytime highs will be only around −10 °C (watch the temperature outlook for the next 14 days): 🧐 These are below-average temperatures which, according to current forecasts, could persist throughout the entire month of January.show more

Let the mind shut up and be healthy, strong,... and happy. And how do we do this? I found those answers in cold water. Going into cold water...it goes past the mind. It goes past your thoughts. It will force you to let go, and let the body do what the body is capable of.show more

🔥 A MAJOR Thaw is coming NEXT WEEK for... our Eastern brotheren as the weather pattern completely flips. 🌡️Temperatures will FINALLY rise above freezing for many areas that have been dealing with Siberian level Cold and Snow for weeks. 🫠 Mountains of Snow that have been sitting in parking lots and along roads since the last storm will finally begin to melt away. 🥶 Meanwhile, the Western US turns colder, with increased chances for Snow as the pattern shifts west. 👀 This warmth arrives AFTER another Cold Blast this weekend, so one more punch of Cold is still on the way. 🤔 The big question is how long does the warmth last? Some models keep milder air in place into the middle to late part of February, while most suggest the Thaw is short lived with Winter returning to the East. Enjoy the Thaw next week, my brotheren 👊 It may not last.show more
