The Polar Vortex Returns: Massive cold wave headed for Eastern half of US, Florida

Dr. Ryan Maue has some of the latest projections for snow and cold in the eastern USA. He notes:

Over next 6-days, pattern locks in … Pacific ridge vs. Eastern US trough. Watching the main event  over Hudson Bay next week.

 

Cold will reach into south Texas and also Florida, while the Great Lakes and Northeast will shiver in the teens.

Most recent GFS forecast run (12z) does have main event #PolarVortex (tropospheric version) visiting from its breeding ground in the cold Arctic. Ridge/trough wave train amplified / reinforces over period of next 10-days. That cyclonic wrap-up over Quebec is stunning https://t.co/fl2nkfDjOf

Snow flurry watch in the Southeast by Friday. Maybe some flakes in Atlanta! Temperatures falling into the 30s with some lingering moisture might surprise w/non-liquid precipitation.
