A severe cold wave and harsh weather conditions will pass through the United States of America in the coming days
Arab Weather - Global observatories, including the Arab Weather Center, are monitoring the rush of a cold polar air mass directly from the North Pole towards large parts of the United States of America, leading to a drop in temperatures to unprecedented levels during this week and rare snowfall reaching some coastal areas in the south of the country. In addition, these systems will lead to the return of Santa Ana winds in southern California, which are likely to lead to an increase in the severity of fires in Los Angeles.
The perceived temperature reaches 50 degrees below zero in the northern states!
The results of the computer simulations at the Arab Weather Center indicate that the United States of America is expected to be increasingly affected by the extremely cold air mass during the coming days, with temperatures dropping by about 20 degrees Celsius in large areas, reaching less than 30 degrees Celsius below zero in some states, while the perceived temperature will be much lower due to the activity of the winds, and the perceived temperature will approach 50 degrees Celsius below zero in the northern states.
The same results indicate that more than 80% of the United States is expected to be below zero degrees Celsius, affecting daily life and the economy, including stress on power grids, school closures, and even serious health effects.
Extremely rare snow in the southern states!
Experts at the Arab Weather Center have monitored the possibility that the southern Gulf Coast regions in the United States of America will witness a strong and rare storm, as snow is expected to fall in areas that rarely witness snowfall in northern Florida, as a result of the rush of bitterly cold polar air from the north, coinciding with an influx of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico.
Santa Ana winds blow hard again, fueling fires in Los Angeles
These weather conditions coincide with expectations that Santa Ana winds will blow strongly in the coming days with strong gusts exceeding 100 km/h in the mountainous areas of Los Angeles County, and this is likely to cause an increase in the risk of spreading and igniting fires again due to the winds and the dry conditions they cause, which are ideal for the spread of fires.
