That upper level low at 500mb (16,000 feet) over the Upper Great Lakes is a piece of the polar vortex!

The recent Jet stream has featured a cross polar flow spreading frigid air masses from Siberia(coldest on the planet right now), across Canada, then into the United States. This is the 200 mb map around 35,000 feet)


Here's the new pattern below. This is 1 week from today on 12-20-25. Mild, Pacific(oceanic) air masses will spread from west to east across much of the country. Bitter cold will continue to pool in Canada and some of that will leak/ooze  just south of the US border, undercutting the main jet stream in the lower levels but that cold will not have much push to penetrate very far south as it moderates over bare ground. 

The Polar Vortex will be anchored just northwest of the Hudson Bay in Canada. Canada will be extremely cold for the rest of the month!

How about these highs for Christmas Day. Near records for Evansville IN (near 70 deg. F) and many other places in the country!


How unusual is it to hit 70 in Evansvile, IN on Christmas Day?

How about.........only 1 time before in history!

There is no question about extremely mild temperatures like this when we have the current jet stream. 


 This is the 250 mb level which is around 34,000 feet above the ground.

The red colors(in knots) are a  200+ mph jet streak embedded within the jet stream(atmospheric river).

Mild, Pacific/oceanic air masses being blown zonally, west to east across the country!
