Any sort of wind along with the bitter cold will make for frostbite in as little as 15 to 20 minutes in the incoming arctic cold. Our long-range forecast models are continuing to pump in wind chill temperatures between -15° and 0° consistently each morning Monday through Wednesday.

Ranked dead last, or perhaps not mentioned at all, would probably be the only state that sits partly within the Arctic Circle: Alaska. But 2025 is off to an interesting start as far as the weather is concerned.

Anytime we get an Arctic air blast down this far south, this is an artifact of the polar vortex rearing its ugly head,” said climatologist Barry Keim .

A strong polar vortex in the stratosphere has brought subzero temperatures to the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and deep into the South.

A mass of air called the polar vortex has escaped the Arctic and plunged southward. Some scientists see the fingerprints of climate change.

States in the polar vortex path include Maine ... Parts of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Utah and Idaho could also experience below-zero temperatures. The Rockies, northern ...

Artificial intelligence isn’t new, but there are renewed concerns about cybercriminals using the technology to trick unsuspecting individuals. “We call it

It’s January 29, and amid the gloom of recent polar vortex temperatures and snow, sometimes we daydream. Perhaps those great high school days when you were a senior in high school, for some of us, graduation couldn’t get here quick enough,

The polar vortex, a swirling mass of cold air located over the polar regions, is responsible for the cold. COLUMBUS, Ohio — An Arctic blast arrived in central Ohio on Monday, bringing with it the coldest air that central Ohio has felt in more than two years.

The polar vortex can be a powerful source of winter weather, but it's not the only cause of severe cold and snow in regions better known for warmth and sunshine. The Gulf Coast states are still digging out of the snowdrifts, but at least warmer temperatures are on tap heading into the weekend.

And if the polar vortex is to blame. First, a quick refresher on the polar vortex. The polar vortex is a region of very strong winds that form a circle around the North Pole. The vortex is located ...

Understanding the Polar Vortex The polar vortex is like a massive whirlpool of frigid air moving around our planet's poles. Think of it as a barrier that, when strong, keeps icy polar air trapped up north.
