Next week, a polar vortex-related cold outbreak in the U.S. is expected to bring frigid temperatures, plunging to at least 30 degrees below average. Two surges of cold air are predicted, with significant impacts in the Midwest and Plains states. Meteorologists note that this event could lead to record low temperatures. The Arctic conditions are tied to multiple weather dynamics, including changes in the polar vortex and high-pressure systems in Alaska. This outbreak may be colder than previous events this winter, raising alerts for extensive cold weather.
The cold will occur at the same time as the Arctic sees unusually mild conditions, as a ridge of high pressure takes over in Alaska.
Experts indicated that the forthcoming cold outbreak is linked to both the tropospheric polar vortex and the stratospheric polar vortex, which are influenced by various weather patterns.
Computer models have been trending colder with this winter's Arctic outbreak, indicating potential record minimum temperatures across parts of the Midwest and Plains states.
According to meteorologists, this polar vortex-related Arctic outbreak is expected to be more severe than previous cold snaps experienced this winter.
