Vortex in weather terms is just a circulation of the atmosphere. You talk about a cold circulation, and the key thing about a polar vortex, it is persistent year round. We dont talk about it a lot because its around the north pole and can span around 1,000 miles.

This is the air temperature, again. Minus 11. Almost hard to say in chicago. Minus 15 in minneapolis, then also detroit at minus 13. Warmer weather is on the way. We think by thursday, that polar vortex will shift more to the north and that will bring us temperatures 35 to 45 degrees warmer.
