Every world class athlete knows that to perform at the highest levels you need to stretch & so it seems with the #PolarVortex (PV). One PV stretch ongoing, delivering #cold & #snow to North America & models increasingly suggest yet another stretched PV for second week of February

The AO and NAO haven't coupled this winter either! Can the North Pacific warming be the reason as in our paper doi.org/10.1038/s41558…

GFS vertical cross-section shows that the ongoing #SSW is coupling with surface NAO- phase, showing some cold consequences. There are still room for some changes, but it seems that my figure is about to be realised, PV-Forecast no?

Is the stratospheric polar vortex strengthening again after the ongoing #SSW? or can we say that this is it for this winter? Earliest final warming in climate was Mar 1st. In case the ongoing SSW makes it to end this winter, it would be a whopping record of Feb 17th!

SST continues to break records! The global average is 0.3 °C higher than the most extreme record, and 0.8 °C higher than the average at this time of the year. climatereanalyzer.com

Fascinating how GFS changed a lot overnight! From a PV split, to a displacement to Europe. Left: forecast initialized on Feb 05 Right: forecast initialized on Feb 06
