What are the effects of the current polar vortex on US weather conditions?
The polar vortex is causing life-threatening cold across a vast region from the Canadian border to Oklahoma and central Texas. Wind chills have dropped to extreme levels, reaching minus 51°C in North Dakota and minus 46°C in Montana, prompting the National Weather Service to issue extreme cold warnings for an 11-state area. Meteorologists have identified this as the 10th polar vortex event this season, with Arctic air expected to bring near-record cold temperatures across the US midsection by midweek. This severe weather follows weekend storms that caused flooding in the eastern United States, creating compounding hazardous conditions across multiple regions.
