Hurricane Imelda Forecast To Hit Bermuda
While many across the Lower 48 have been enjoying a relatively warm and dry start to autumn, Siberian snow has already been growing and may add a chill to your winter forecast.
Introduction On Siberian Snow Pack
One of these key players is Siberian snow cover, particularly early in the fall season. Increased snow cover across eastern Russia leads to increased reflection of sunlight and anomalously colder temperatures at the surface for the time of year.
As this early, unusually cold air mass builds over Siberia, it impacts weather patterns further down the jet stream across the Northern Hemisphere. The increased snow cover across Siberia is found to be connected with warm conditions across the eastern Arctic, increasing the probability of a polar vortex disruption during the winter season.
