Next Polar Vortex 2024. Texas will unlikely see a polar vortex in january without sudden stratospheric warming. Since then, the polar vortex has reared up like a famished bear after a long sleep, and the stratospheric winds are now strongly above average for this time of year.
That will all change early next week, as an arm of the polar vortex is pinched off from the north pole and settles into western canada by jan. As each year is different in the story of the polar vortex, we will look at the latest data in the stratosphere and how a new polar vortex is starting to emerge for the 2024/2025 winter season.
