If you've been a regular reader of this blog you know that I've spent the last week lamenting about the bitterly cold air mass headed our way. I've done posts on the "polar vortex" which is the core of the coldest air in the world. While we are not going to see that 'core' we are still going to see a very cold air mass through the weekend. A couple of factors I wanted to throw out today for your inspection. Here's a look at what we will experience this weekend as per the ECMWF model or know by its nickname the European.
You will notice that the intense red color represents the -24 Celsiuses line or -11 Fahrenheit. With a little snow on the ground we could see temperatures at night This duel with the Arctic Circle will end quickly with the bitterly cold air moving out of the area by Sunday night. However, It looks like some cold air regroups and moves in next week so temperatures are still going to be well below normal. (Normal is 31 this time of year).

So, I guess we can call this Polar Vortex "action" more like a SIDE-SWIPE instead of a HEAD-ON, right?
(Polar Express...good picture, nice analogy)
