“Polar Vortex” Is Upon Us: Arctic Outbreaks To Round Out December<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

It’s almost that time of year when a polar vortex split occurs, displacing cold Arctic air from\u00a0the Earth’s North Pole\u00a0into Canada and spilling into the Lower 48.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Data from Bloomberg shows that mentions of “polar vortex” in corporate media typically begin to surge in late December or the first half of\u00a0January, signaling that the countdown has begun.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

On Wednesday, private weather forecaster BAMWX<\/a> pushed out new weather models on X, showing confidence is growing for a polar vortex split to occur for the Lower 48.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The stage is set for Arctic outbreaks to round out December and kick start the new year!<\/strong>”\u00a0BAMWX wrote on X.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BAMWX said, “More favorable trends for stronger cold fronts in week 2. I don’t see any signs of a consistent torch in the eastern US.<\/strong> Ensembles cannot resolve the +TNH & +PNA pattern right now making them consistently too warm late week 2.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Michael Clark, chief meteorologist for BAMWX, was confident about the incoming polar vortex.<\/p>\n

Yes. Really. https:\/\/t.co\/fv95vY03ii<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/4F6h9SZKbe<\/a><\/p>\n

Clark also sees a more active precipitation pattern<\/strong> for the eastern half of the US.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I also strongly agree with the AI data that the pattern is much more active than what the week 2 ensembles show for precipitation.<\/p>\n

“The persistence in the PNA and the TPV (500mb tropospheric polar vortex<\/strong> location is the reason we believe the storms can easily pull down the Arctic air behind them<\/strong>,”\u00a0BAMWX said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s likely the smoothed out ensemble means are missing these features.<\/p>\n

The eastern half of the US appears to be setting up for a cold Christmas<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Morning data runs 12-20 to 12-25 aka leading up to #Christmas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Everything is colder east.<\/p>\n

With that said the ECMWF-AI is quite a bit colder and we think that is because it understands that the TPV is not moving while the other data fails to see the connection. pic.twitter.com\/YOCmVbDyrF<\/a><\/p>\n

And possibly a white one…<\/p>\n

The odds of 1″+ of snowfall between now and the 28th.<\/p>\n

I think we need to watch this area here for increasing odds of a white #Christmas<\/a>. pic.twitter.com\/RSFIl7G2yd<\/a><\/p>\n

“Both GFS and ECMWF AI model data hinting at a bigger storm threat ~22nd of Dec<\/strong>,”\u00a0BAMWX wrote in a forecast.<\/p>\n

Both GFS and ECMWF AI model data hinting at a bigger storm threat ~22nd of Dec.<\/p>\n

This storm has been on the charts for several days now.<\/p>\n

There is absolutely a storm there we need to take a look into the odds of having an Arctic connection for a bigger Winter storm? pic.twitter.com\/037pXkPlgu<\/a><\/p>\n
