| Arctic Outbreak to Hit Midwest and Northeast next week |
| 2019-01-24 |
| By Jason Samenow January 24 at 11:51 AM [WashingtonPost] One of the most severe cold air outbreaks in years is possible from the Upper Midwest to the Northeast next week as the jet stream crashes south and a large lobe of the polar vortex plunges toward the Great Lakes. Computer models forecast the brutal cold to crash into the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest starting Tuesday. The core of the frigid blast would grip the region from the Dakotas to the eastern Great Lakes on Wednesday and Thursday, sending cities such as Minneapolis, Des Moines, Green Bay, Milwaukee, Chicago and Detroit into a teeth-chattering [with some maximum temps below 0F] freeze. much of the east has a high water table from the rainy summer and fall. Water expands when it turns to ice (and even continues to expand a bit until it hits about -40F) and all kinds of problems result. |

| #2 The Weather Channel is not a govt agency. It is one part of a privately held corporation called The Weather Group They use govt provided data as well as privately acquired data and produce various forecast products, some of which are broadcast.. |
