The polar dance that caused snow to fall across the South in January has been studied for decades, but scientists still hope ...
When the Polar Vortex is in a weakened state, a jet stream wobble sending polar air into the mid-latitudes becomes more ...
Research has found that rising temperatures in the Arctic are weakening weather systems that normally trap the cold around ...
Winter in the CSRA is usually mild overall, but every now and then, we get a taste of true Arctic air. If you’ve ever ...
How do the polar vortex and the jet stream affect our weather? When the polar vortex is strong and circular, it acts as a barrier between the cold air over the pole and warmer air to the south and ...
The vortex is essentially an area of low pressure in the upper layers of the atmosphere over the polar region up north. This ...
A strong polar vortex — and one that stays swirling tightly above the pole — depends on a dramatic contrast between frigid polar temperatures and milder conditions across midlatitudes.
Forecasters warn that a split polar vortex is set to bring a 'large supply of cold air' to North America in mid-February as a ...
Europe may be in for another cold blast like the one that surprised forecasters and sent gas prices soaring last week, with the potential weakening of winds that keep frigid air confined to the Arctic ...
