While we were sitting below zero this morning temperatures in Alaska were approaching the freezing mark. How could Alaska be warmer than us? Remember the old saying, "What goes up, must come down". The jetstream has remained positioned across the southern tier of the U.S for some time which has allowed the cold air in the arctic to funnel down through the heartland. Much of the west coast, even the western coast of Canada, has seen the opposite with a ridge of high pressure. This ridge will actually start to break down and progress eastward through the weekend. This will gradually begin to push the jetstream northward allowing temperatures to warm near average and possibly above into early next week.
