One of the larger gears, the Artic Osollation (AO), is forecast to go significantly negative and at the same time there is a ridge building across the Artic Circle from Alaska to northern China. The negative AO will allow the pool of Artic air to expand southward and the ridge will push more of the cold air over towards this side of the planet. The NAO trending negative will help some as well in channeling the cold air into the northeastern US.
All of these will be big players in the real winter weather just ahead. Enjoy it while it is here.
