Next week’s pre-winter arctic plunge might be a sign of things to come for the Eastern U.S., as several key weather patterns will converge to bring early bone-chilling cold and potentially more snowstorms to the region.
According to the FOX Forecast Center, two weather patterns, La Niña and an easterly Quasi-Biennial Oscillation, will allow more rounds of arctic air that is typically trapped high above the North Pole to spill into the lower levels of the atmosphere and south into the Eastern U.S.
This frigid air is known as the “Polar Vortex.”
Air in the polar vortex sits in the stratosphere, some 10 to 30 miles above the Earth’s poles and intensifies during the winter, when a lack of sunlight cools air at this height to below -70 degrees Celcius.
The polar vortex typically remains locked over the North Pole and Northern Canada as well as up in the stratosphere, separated from warmer air in the lower level of the atmosphere, the troposphere—that makes up the weather we experience.
While the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is typically the driver of most weather, another lesser-known climate pattern, the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) will play a big role early this winter.
The QBO refers to the direction winds are blowing in the stratosphere around the equator, which in turn will influence the strength of the Polar Vortex.

[The polar vortex]
It’s not going to matter.....
THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW
Global cooling warning. We need to burn more fossil fuels to offset the coming ice age.
If it happened in the summer, it would be something to complain about.
Ain’t supposed to snow here, but maybe a three dog night.
Time for another round of....Blame Canada!
Damn global warming!
IOW, winter.
Every year, new terminology, new threats to our lives and planet. Note that nothing is ever followed up to their predictions and threats. Believe nothing as the only reason for their raison d’être is for your attention and clicks. Believe nothing.
Oh no.....Not the Quasi-biennial Oscillation....
The Woke and their stupid words just trying to scare idiots
So I need a Baerskin Hoodie?
Illegal aliens (El Nino and La Nina) cause global warming.
THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW!
.
I don’t think that is a Good Thing.
“Oh no.....Not the Quasi-biennial Oscillation....”
Quasi-Modal Oscillation will create a Six Cat Night. This could lead to a band with 6 lead singers.
Blame CANADA!
.
IT’S All their Fault!
Those furry little b*st*rds are crawling all over my driveway, so I KNOW we’re doomed.
It’s going to be in the 20’s for the lows here, not the sub-zeroes. Get a grip, people! We are transitioning to winter in early November…just like every year!
In fact, if we don’t figure out how to manipulate the climate before the next glaciation, which will happen, hundreds of millions of humans will die or be misplaced.
