The Polar Express is Leaving the Station

I’ve been watching the 10-day GFS forecast for the U.S., and each run is reinforcing the previous one, with a major cold air outbreak for most of the U.S. late next week.

Me: brrrrrr! Ice age coming? Some people think so.

Around here we usually see our first snow flurries around Halloween.

This map is predicting 4 to 8 degrees below zero for Maryland in late October? I have a hard time believing that. It doesn’t even get that cold in January here.

I gotta check the 2-week forecast and see if it looks chilly here. I saw low 40’s here next week (Atlanta) but that was the 10-day.

Given that he is at PSU (and absolved by then Prezzy Spanier - a noted Wife-Swapping Studies Scholar), he'd enjoy that....

It's an 850MB map. Those are not surface temps.

I can’t really read the numbers on the image. I was looking at the overall path of the cold polar air.

I am happy this is missing the PNW since I now have at least one week in mid October to make a trip into the mountains with 55-65F temps and clear skies (very unusual and I didn’t get up there all summer).

Note that this map is for the 850 mb level and the temperature units are in °C NOT °F!!!!!!!

Like around 5,000 ft elevation, roughly.
