A polar vortex is expected to freeze the United States all the way to the Deep South
While the Northern Hemisphere is already well into the winter months, it can seem like temperatures are already quite cold. However, a deep freeze, driven by the polar vortex descending from Siberia, is poised to bring even harsher freezing temperatures to nearly 300 million Americans.

The polar vortex is a large area of cold air and low pressure that normally rotates above the North and South Poles. During the winter months and when the jet stream permits, this cold air can descend further to lower latitudes, such as the United States. This should happen this weekend.
Starting Saturday, the polar vortex will begin to descend into the northern part of the United States, dropping temperatures into the single digits. Wind chills will already fall below the negative teens for this region. Temperatures are forecast to be 20 to 25 degrees below average for this time of year.

Wind chills will be below 20 degrees in the Northern Plains and in the single digits in the Central Plains, creating dangerously cold conditions for those attending NFL playoff games. Temperatures are forecast to be 25 to 30 degrees below average for this time of year.

On Monday, the polar vortex will reach the Deep South, with temperatures dropping to the freezing point of 32 degrees Fahrenheit in Atlanta. Wind chills will be in the 20s. In the Rockies, Plains and Midwest, some areas will fail to exceed 10%.
At least 19 record temperatures are expected from the plains to the east. Temperatures are forecast to be 25 to 30 degrees below average for this time of year.

For the presidential inauguration Monday in Washington, D.C., skies will remain mostly sunny for the ceremony, with temperatures in the low 20s. Wind chills are expected to be in the single digits.
It will be the coldest inauguration day in 40 years. In 1985, the temperature reached only 7 degrees during President Ronald Reagan's second swearing-in, forcing the ceremony to be held indoors and the parade canceled.
