US weather to go nuts with blizzard, polar vortex, heat dome, atmospheric river all at once

The U.S. faces record early heat, heavy snow, and flooding as a wild jet stream drives multiple extreme weather events, affecting all 50 states, experts said.

  • Conditions ranging from blizzards to heat waves are hitting all 50 states, with experts expecting widespread extreme weather, according to sources.
  • The jet stream is moving in a roller-coaster pattern of vertical drops and ascents, forcing conflicting weather systems together, according to Chenard.
  • The polar vortex brings Arctic chill deep into the Midwest and Great Lakes, with a 'one-two' snowstorm punch dumping up to 4 feet of snow, Maue noted.
  • Record triple-digit heat is expected in the Southwest early next week, with Phoenix potentially reaching 107 degrees, an unusual event in 137 years of record-keeping.
  • Numerous studies link this anomalous jet stream activity to shrinking Arctic sea ice and climate change, with Maue noting the first day of spring on the 20th of March offers a potential recovery point.
