This is a fun battle - fantasy vs. physics for the long-term forecast of the eclipse. The fantasy is invoking cold air in Asia, and physics invokes the fact that the Arctic is deflating like a stuck balloon.
The Pacific plumes are stuck in the same pattern we have had for weeks. This new one hitting Alaska looks like it could set up a clipper.
The Arctic looks like a shrivelled prune, but we saw it come back last week.
All the Arctic air is pouring near the UK, which is saved from freezing by a weird plume eddy from Africa.
If you want to make a fortune selling phoney eclipse glasses on the street, you want our standard Spring pattern of plumes breaking over the Rockies. That gives us a nice dry Spring. Not going to happen.
Very difficult to come up with art for this.
The huge snowstorm comes on rapidly, causing people to run and drop their glasses....
