Ever so often, the polar vortex dips south over North America from its usual perch in the Arctic and brings a blast of cold air. The next arrival appears imminent, potentially as early as the first week of December, over the eastern half of the US.
According to freelance meteorologist Mike Masco, a “monster negative NAO [North Atlantic Oscillation] signal showing the pattern will reload the cold FAST as the atmospheric chess pieces align to produce major cold & potential polar vortex into the eastern/northern USA Dec. 5 & Beyond.”
MONSTER NEGATIVE "NAO" SIGNAL SHOWING
The pattern will reload the cold FAST as the atmospheric chess pieces align to produce major cold & potential #PolarVortex into the eastern/northern USA Dec 5 & Beyond..Consider topping off Oil/propane tanks soon if that's your heating mode pic.twitter.com/AaGvLCeiHH— Mike Masco (@MikeMasco) November 27, 2022
Masco said, “consider topping off Oil/propane tanks soon if that’s your heating mode.”
Others say a polar vortex will plunge temperatures below freezing across the Deep South, mainly in Alabama, Louisiana, and South Carolina, by Dec. 13.
Average temperatures in Washington, DC, will peak around 60 degrees Fahrenheit on Dec. 6 and begin to slide to about 26 degrees by Dec. 12.
Temperatures across North Carolina will plunge from the low 60s to sub-freezing by Dec. 12.
The same for South Carolina.
As well as Georgia.
The cold air will even pour into Florida.
On a regional basis, Midwest temperatures will average around 20 degrees by Dec. 12.
Southeast temperatures will plunge to freezing conditions.
The cold blast will be so severe that temperatures across the country, on average, will be driven down to around 35 degrees.
And look at heating degree days for the South East …. the cold blast will send heating demand through the roof.
However, Phil Flynn, senior analyst at Price Futures Group in Chicago, told Reuters that even though “the forecast seems to suggest we are going to see this polar vortex… (traders are) pulling back some of their positions on the anticipation, the cold blast might not be as far-reaching as originally feared.”
Last week, Houston-based energy firm Criterion Research explained that the US “officially flipped over to withdrawal season” as heating demand begins to rise.
What appears to be an upcoming cold blast may only suggest US natural gas prices could rise even higher.
Enjoy the warm weather while it lasts — because if forecasts hold up, a polar vortex could plunge a large swath of the US into a deep freeze.

By God…you beat me to it.
I’m thinking the state of Florida could use a respite from the massive migration underway.
it has been hot here–
weather.com’s 10 day forecast actually goes out 14 days,which from today would be the 11th —
the lowest it is showing is a couple of days in the mid 70s for the high & upper 50s for the low–
i guess i’ll get out a windbreaker to be on the safe side & then we shall see —
I mowed my front lawn here in Houston today.

I snow plowed mine.
Climate change we can believe in!!!
At least 4 times a year!!!
Winter, spring, summer and fall…
Likely means that Ukraine/EU will be warm. WTF
What a crock of shit! President Biden told me that global warming is here and we’ll all fry if we don’t reduce greenhouse gases.
Fck him, the true Sock Puppet of 2000, Al Gore, warned that the Earth has a Fever!
We have spent most of mid-november 20 degrees below normal and had a killing freeze October 19 here in W. TN. I was just beginning to harvest lettuce and sweet peas when they got frozen about a month early.

Saved by the gulfstream.
Being in the SW corner of SC and on the coast, we’re having highs in the mid-70s through 12/6-7. Even if a cold snap occurs, the ground will be too warm to last long.
So you could throw a rock at Savannah.
I would.
Otherwise known as Jussie gets a second chance.
There goes those wind farms…..again.
I’m still waiting for global warming here in NW Indiana.
Arctic Blast As Far As Deep South
The Climate change is falling! The Climate change is falling! The Climate change is falling! The Climate change is falling!
Look at all those rainbow colors and jaggedy charts. You know the experts are on it. The next thing you know it will be so cold that the polar bears will have no ice chunks to float around on.
Everything, everything, is fake and gay. If anything issues forth from Mordor, bet the house on the exact opposite.
Cold in Winter, who could have guessed?

Not cold. Someone has to notch it up and call it polar.

Is it a bomb cyclone? Yet?
Here in Cuenca, Ecuador it is in the low to mid 70’s during the day and about 20 degrees cooler at night. No heat or air conditioning needed. Our electric bill runs about $10 monthly.
I will just throw a few extra logs into the boiler…
Here in o.c. Ca I’m still picking zucchini and tomato’s the broccoli and Cauliflower are kicking ass but I’m hearing winter might show up this weekend.
