…Over the next 10 days, changes in the stratosphere will upend #weather patterns & set the stage for a cold, snowy December across the Northern Hemisphere.
It will mean a dramatic swing in weather for parts of the #US that are currently simmering in record heat….
It could also be one of the earliest significant #PolarVortex disruptions recorded since the dawn of the satellite era.

Think of the stratospheric #PolarVortex like a wall of wind, corralling the ultra-cold, Arctic air over the North Pole. When it weakens, cold air spills south into places like the Lower 48, Europe & Asia.
Right now, the air in the stratosphere — the layer of the atmosphere above where most #weather occurs — is warming quickly & dramatically, in a phenomenon known as a sudden stratospheric warming event.
