First wave of cold air to hit the coasts of Alaska.
A new report published by the Vencoreweather says the Northern Hemisphere has been misbehaving in ways that have never been recorded yet and it is likely to bring widespread cold waves across the US starting next week.
According to the report, the first wave of cold air is set to hit the coasts of Alaska in the coming weekend and the climatologist suggest that the temperature could plunge to 40 degree below zero and way below normal for early December.
Once the cold wave covers Alaska, it will move to western US in the following week and then make landfall in the eastern US late next week.
The report also says that by December 10th the cold wave will cover the entire southeastern US and the people will experience colder than normal conditions. As the days progress the cold wave will continue to move deeper lasting for the whole month.
The report says “A loop (above) of 12Z GEFS 850 mb (~5000 feet) temperature anomaly forecast maps across North America shows quite well the plunge of the cold air mass next week from Alaska into the western US and then finally its expansion into the eastern US at then end of next week.
The 7-day loop of 850 mb temperature anomaly forecast maps progresses from this Saturday, December 3rd to the following Saturday, December 10th with colder-than-normal conditions shown in blue and purple and the warmer-than-normal air in red and orange.”
The climatologists opined that after the passage of today’s frontal system the temperatures will drop on Thursday and during the weekend the cold wave will make landfall and Alaska could experience snowfall. After the passing of the cold wave Alaska and the eastern US will once again warmup whereas the western US will start experiencing cold blast.
They also warn about a possible storm forming around the frontal boundary zone by the mid-to-late part of next week which would bring more rain here (at least initially) and perhaps significant accumulating snow to parts of the Upper Midwest.
By the end of next week, the Arctic front separating the warm air to the south and east and cold air to the north and west is likely to plow through the Mid-Atlantic region ushering in the cold air mass all the way down into the Southeast US.
Longer term, signs point to colder-than-normal conditions sticking around here as we progress through the month of December.
