When the polar vortex collapsed in the middle of March, the planet's weather patterns were redrawn. That could mean snow for ...

“The polar vortex has been particularly strong and stable the past few weeks. That has kept the coldest of Arctic air largely confined to the North Pole,” says Mike Bettes, meteorologist with ...

Spring may have technically sprung in the Northern Hemisphere, but the lingering impact of the collapsing polar vortex could ensure that chilly weather will stick around for a while longer across ...

The term “polar vortex” might conjure images of mythical icy storms swirling through the North Pole but in reality it’s a ...

The swirling vortex, when strong, can actually suck the Arctic cold up into the North Pole region. When the Polar Vortex is disrupted and its circulation weakens, the cold air attached to the ...

and helps keep the pole’s cold air confined to the Arctic. When the vortex weakens—which it does on occasion—the jet stream becomes wavy, bulging south and allowing Arctic air to flow down across ...

An in-depth look at the forecasted polar vortex collapse and its potential effects on weather patterns across North America this March A polar vortex collapse can cause cold snaps, and one is ...

The polar vortex is a part of Earth's atmosphere that is found over the North Pole. Strong winds typically keep the vortex locked in place, but periodically, changes in the weather can cause the ...

What is the polar vortex? The polar vortex is a part of Earth's atmosphere that is found over the North Pole. Strong winds typically keep the vortex locked in place, but periodically, changes in ...
