US Latest

Major cold wave looms later next week but it’s abnormally mild across Mid-Atlantic today

A very interesting and exciting pattern change is taking shape, hot on the heels of record breaking warmth across the Plains states.

The key change is the breakdown of the Alaskan trough which has ultimately dammed up the Arctic air, stopping it from dropping into the lower 48, however, models are in good agreement now that the PNA will flip positive and this means a ridge builds northwards up the west side of North America and replaces the trough. As warmth surges north, northeastwards, so the built up Arctic reservoir will be released southwards into the lower 48 from mid next week onwards.
