The northeastern US is set to be blasted with the most extreme cold on Earth later this month, according to shocking new forecasts.
“My thinking is that the cold the first week of December is the appetizer and the main course will be in mid-December,” MIT climatologist Judah Cohen told USA Today.
“The most expansive region of most likely extreme cold on Earth stretches from the Canadian Plains to the U.S. East Coast in the 3rd week of December,” Judah said, citing findings from his weather modeling computer.
That deadly cold air will come from the movement of the polar vortex dipping low and bringing cold arctic air over the States.
Exactly what the temperatures will be remains unclear, but Judah expects them to dip below what is being felt this week.
The Midwest is facing highs in the 10s and mid-20s in some areas this week, while regions from Illinois to Missouri will experience lows around 0.
