The Polar Vortex is back.
Just when you thought you were safe – the Polar Vortex is back.
The Midwest and North East are thawing out after being covered with more than a foot of snow over the past week, but forecasters have warned it won't be for long as another cold front is on its way.
The wintry storm is expected to slam the Midwest this weekend, bringing ferocious winds and freezing temperatures as low as 35 degrees below normal.
After rattling the Midwest, it will stretch into the South and East at the start of next week, according to Weather Underground.
Snow escape: A 6 to 10 day forecast shows a swathe of cold temperatures expected to hit the country next week – with the Midwest, South and East expected to get temperatures colder than normal
A six-to-ten-day forecast from NOAA also reveals a terrifying swathe of cold temperatures starting in the Midwest on Tuesday and stretching south and to the coast – where the mercury is expected to plummet to temperatures below average, while a higher than average amount of rain is also due.
'Temperatures 20°F below normal will likely invade the Upper Midwest on Sunday, and gradually spread southeastwards during the week,' Dr Jeff Masters of the Weather Underground said.
