MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... January 30, 2019 January 30, 2019 January 30, 2019 January 30, 2019 Cold Shmold http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190130/sunday-forecast-highs.png And if you can't wait until Sunday, I give you "Saturday!" http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190130/saturday-forecast-highs.png Yeah, it's cold out there right now. Brutally cold. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190130/current.TAIR.grad.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190130/current.TAPP.grad.png And that's nothing compared to the Midwest, where it's BARBARICALLY COLD! http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190130/latest.tair.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190130/latest.tapp.png Hey, it's not my fault! Blame the sudden stratospheric warming above the North Pole that split the polar vortex into pieces and sent a slice of it into the northern reaches of the U.S. If it's any consolation, parts of Europe and Siberia are getting there's as well. You can read a bit more about the polar vortex here. https://www.noaa.gov/infographic/science-behind-polar-vortex And here's another look in graphics form. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190130/polar-vortex.jpeg Sorry for today's weather. We'll stick to our boring weather pattern. Unless you're like me (seek help) and think 70s are exciting, you'll have to wait until next week when we see the possibility of a storm system approaching, with a possible chance of precip. Keep you fingers crossed. Hard to do wearing gloves, so give it your best shot.
