Polar Vortex


On the map provided by the University of Wyoming, we can see the polar vortex. with a center of circulation, near Russia and a high pressure center, near Alaska. This is the 10 mb. map.

Accuweather's Elliot Abrams points out that such a configuration serves as a signal for cold weather in the lower latitudes. See Elliot Abrams blog for Feb. 1st. for a closer look at the polar vortex on ACCUWEATHER.COM.
