Good Day John!
Hopefully this question doesn't fall outside the guidelines....but I think it's OK. MANY different weather sites have been worried about another Polar Vortex dropping temperatures in the Midwest to dangerous levels starting around the 25th of January (give or take). These same sites were pretty accurate with a longer range prediction (about 10 - 14 days out) with the first arctic outbreak. I have noticed that while you indicate that you feel temperatures will run "below average" in your time frame outlooks, you make no mention of a severe cold outbreak. Without naming the site, one forecaster showed a graphic (off of the Canadian model) that potentially had temps in Iowa dropping to -30 to -40 (!!!) around January 25th. Obviously, from 8 or 9 days out, he was quick to point out that this was not a forecast. I'm just wondering if you have any thoughts in regards to PV II? I'm sure there are lots of site visitors that would be curious as well. I know I have a trip planned for that time frame and don't particularly enjoy riding when it's -20 (please hold the wimp commentary
). Side note, I'm sure The Weather Channel will soon have a "name" for the cold invasion.
Thank you!
