US weather to go nuts with blizzard, polar vortex, heat dome, atmospheric river all at once

"Nearly every part of the United States is getting walloped by wild weather or just about to be.

"Days of downpours have begun in #Hawaii. The #Southwest will soon bake with day after day of record 100-degree-plus (38 Celsius-plus) #heat. Two storms will dump snow by the foot over northern #GreatLakes states. And the dreaded #PolarVortex will again invade the Midwest and East with soul-crushing #ArcticChill.

"This forecast of extremes comes as weather whiplash already hit much of the East. On Wednesday, Washington, D.C. residents walked around in shorts in record-breaking 86 degrees Fahrenheit (about 30 Celsius). On Thursday, it snowed.

" 'All of the country, even if you’re not necessarily seeing extremes, are going to see generally changing from cold to warm, or warm to cold to warm,' said meteorologist Marc Chenard of the weather service’s Weather Prediction Center in Maryland.

"Former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief scientist Ryan Maue said he expects extreme weather in all 50 states."

Ruh-roh. Sounds like more #Temperature #RollerCoasters are in the works... Freezing one day, boiling the next. Not good...

Meteorologist warns 'highly unusual' US winter pattern shift is coming

Story by Everett Sloane, 2/5/2026

"A sharp, late-season flip in the jet stream is setting up a winter pattern that looks very different from the one that opened the year, and forecasters say it is not business as usual. A leading Meteorologist has described the looming shift as 'highly unusual,' warning that a distorted #PolarVortex and a recharged storm track could rearrange who gets buried in snow and who finally thaws out. The stakes range from #water supplies in the mountains of the western United States to #EnergyDemand and even #wildlife stress in places that are not built for #ArcticAir.

"The core of the coming change is a dramatic reconfiguration of the polar vortex and the jet stream that steers storms across North America. Instead of a simple, locked-in cold pool over the eastern half of the country, forecasters describe a stretched and wobbling circulation that can send frigid air plunging south while allowing pockets of warmth to surge north. One Meteorologist has framed the setup as 'Highly unusual,' noting that winter weather across the United States is about to change in a big way as the upper-level flow reorganizes over the central and eastern states, a shift detailed in a recent analysis. Instead of the gradual, predictable evolution that textbooks once suggested, the atmosphere is pivoting quickly, with cold and warmth trading places in a matter of days."
